Thinking of painting camaro flat black? I posted this in paint and body too but, I was thinking I might get more responses here. My buddy is thinking of painting his camaro flat back and is wondering how hard the paint will be to take care of maintenance wise. Washing, waxing?, water spot removal, etc... |
Don't wax it and wash it with regular car wash soap. My '94 is Satin Black and the water spots aren't that bad unless it is washed in the sun or not dried off |
i wiould think it would look better if it was a 93-97 body, they just look more aggressive from the front end. 98-02, not so much. |

a lot easier just spray and soap and youre good to go. I was really tempted to do this but i came up with a badass scheme, in the process..:devil: |
i have seen one in person... shit looked mean as hell!!! i loved it!! :) |
Someone post some pics, I've heard of a few but never seen one and would love to see one |
its been done... I believe he did it in satin black... will give you an idea... |
Look up the LS7 Camaro. You'll change your mind to satin in a hurry. |
:headbang: |
that would seem like a b!tch of a time with cleaning waterspots satin black would waterspot so easy |
Sounds cool, but I think I would get tired of it quickly. It would deffinetly be different. |

5 Attachment(s) Some old pics I had of a couple of differant cars. I know there is more, I just couldn't find them right now. I think it looks good, I have been considering this as well. |
I dpn't see why satin black would waterspot worse than any other color. Its still got clear on it so as long as you dry it off and wax it you should be ok. On a side note when I was looking for a car I found a flat black lt1 car with chrome wheels and tinted windows and it looked fuckin mean. I was professionally done too and had clear on it also, it just wasn't shiney. Someday I'll own a flat or satin black car, just not sure what it will be |
