How would it look?

For a paint job, ive always thought about getting a flat paint job. Instead of like Gloss black, or Gloss any color, but instead get a Flat black or flat any color, kind of like the color os snatchbacks bumper.

Anyone ever doen this before, I like the rough texture of paint, and would look diff instead of seeing a shiny color.

Depends on what colour. It'll also have that chalkbourd kind of feel.

Hey if you get it in black or green you could draw your own stuff on it with chalk! (mind you i'd come off in the rain)

Snatchbacks car looks more like a matt or satin finish, looks nice.

To go full on flat will give your car that US Army Hummer look.

snatchback's black pieces are OEM unpainted parts... ie the factory primer.

The mat black things is cool , but dirt will stick to your car link crazy.

Winter would be a nightmare for salt.

Good point, come wintertime you'd have to dump a whole jug of WD-40 over the car just to keep it from rusting.

That factory primer look is so cool, it SO says pre-season testing.

What about factory primer, with a clear coat on top? Would that be good for winter, but still have that flat black look sorta?

Clear coat will make it shiney. It would look like a crappy black that was shiney not flat.

If it was a flat clear coat, then it'll still collect salt and rust.

Whats the diff between the flat and shiny clear coat that collects rust and salt?

What makes falt paint look flat is the fact that it is not smooth, ie little time ridges and bumps. That is what will collect salt and dirt.

Cleaning it would require scrubbing it.

A glossy or smooth surface would make water and salt slide right off of the surface. Washing it would be easier.

Sport Compact Car just painted their "Project Silvia" flat black and it looks so killer! I love it, I'd never do it, but I love it.
