well with flat black it's been covered before, but again, it would'nt work, the wetsand and polishing process is to bring a shine, not make it flat, flat paints have flattening agents in them that make them flat, your best bet is to rattle can it, only issue with flat paints is keeping them clean, and no water spots, bird do-do, bug guts all stain the paint.




I guess maybe I worded it wrong. What I mean to say is can I use this process with flat black? I understand it won't shine obviously, but will it just plain not work? I just want a smooth flat black finish I guess. Does that make sense?

I guess if it's just a bad idea... what about a semi-gloss black? And maybe fine grit it and not polish it? Better idea?

Thanks again!

way way back (page 4 or 5 maybe?) there is a guy who painted a roadrunner flat black. I dont recall what sanding he did, but Im pretty sure he rollered it.

edit: here is where to find it:

there is a pic of it there. It doesn't look very good to me in the sun, but the shade shot looks good..


The hotrodders link has to do with flat black. im not sure if those guys are spraying or rolling, and if they're sanding, but they are using a flat black..
