You're looking for John Deere Blitz Black.

Info Here:

http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/john...ack-31993.html



Lots of pics in that thread.

And painting and clearing is cake compared to making the surface perfect. Sanding is where it's at. Making sure every square inch is perfectly smooth. ANY imperfection you can see before paint... will be there after paint.

And if you want to maintain a flat look, you can add flattening agent to clear.

I understand what you are trying to pull off. These cars dont seem old enough to look ok in a primer state. But the whole point is to be different. So if you like it..then do it man. Like others have said though I would use a clear with flatening agent.

I kinda like the flat black thing on Muscle Cars and Hot Rods. I don't see it working for a 4th Gen.

You talking to me? I replied to it without noticing the date, but it was on the first page. Someone that was looking back a ways probably voted on the poll. In case you didn't know, voting on a poll will bring a post back to the front page.

Poll closed.

Black epoxy primer will also work as a 'satin' look. The rear bumper of my Fiero is currently black epoxy primer. It shows EVERY imperfection though.

I have some pics if you want to PS out the strips maybe dull it up what ever but primer is ugly and with that 1 day you will be chnaing something on your car get oil/grease on the primer and have to wet sand it out.

Hot Rods were wearing black primer long before the term "Ricer" was even invented. I know the Real Muscle Cars as you call them, that are seen around shows and cruises are painted, or at the very least they used epoxy primer, as well they should.

Make no mistake, those guys are only copying a look that was started years ago, using plain old primer.
