I finally got my car repainted. My dad and I did it, finished getting it back together Friday. Yes it is flat black (not primer). I like it. (So far the only people that have told me they didnt were my grandmother and a homeless guy.)



Oh and yes I know I need to lower it...

Why not? I've always loved the look of flat black. It shows off the lines of the car.

I like flat black, but on cars it typically just looks like primer...

I guess the pic's don't do it any justice.I have alway's pictured older car's like ratrod's and car's like that flat black.Never seen a late model car, and if i did I would of thought it was in primer.As long as you like it that is all that matter's.

I highly enjoy it. It's cheap and it looks better than a high dollar flame job(or paint of your choice) that might not look good.
