Dude...I was actually shooting for this weekend. Hopefully I will have enough funds to buy your parts. If not, we can wait until the next meet.

I got a question for ya did you use an actual flat black automotive paint to paint your car or what exactly did you use cause i really like it and I've wanted to do flat black for a while now i just haven't been sure if I should just use a black primer or a black basecoat and not clear it or what so any help would be appreciated. Thanks man...and again great lookin car, love the drop

I used flat black basecoat. It's not totally flat(like black primer would be). It's more like satin or low gloss black. Bu I am satisfied with it....Later on, I will paint it glossy black. Yeah I love the drop too! It just needs some rims(maybe Omar Aww_shiet wants to donate his when he gets his new rims. hint hint lol ). But I was surprised at how smooth it rides...it's nothing compared to stock springs, but I thought it was going to ba a lot worse. Also, I love how there is almost no body roll when I corner.

thanks for the help man, also did u paint it youself with that little compressor you had in your first post?

[JDM_EJ]

Yeah. It works pretty good. You just have to paint fast and pause every 10 minutes so the tank can refill.

[Skunk138cb7]

awesome, didnt mean to hijack your thread but i been meaning to paint my car and i got everything but a compressor and if i can get a cheap one just to lay down some black primer for now...well then, anyway thanks for the info and again great job on the car

[JDM_EJ]

dont worry about it dude. anyways, I got my Craftsman compressor for $80 on sale.

Thanks man. Yeah the flat black is temporary...but I still like it!

[aww_shiet]

[aww_shiet]

...btw, if you still have some flat black paint left, you should spray your wiper arms. i did mine and it looks pretty bad azz!

If I have time, I'd rather do it myself.
