Any one on here ever painted a car and make the black come out like this? Any helpfull tips would be great. 4733431-3300759d.jpg (1410 downloads)

PPG uses a matte clear coat over the base matte finish while BASF has the clear mixed into the finish itself. I believe the Lexus in the pic uses BASF.

Have a buddy here thats done quite a few old rods and muscle cars with it. It'll cost ya bout $50 at the most for everything ya need.

Really looks like somebody used a rattle can of primer on it.

Into a flat black car would be a mistake, that car has potential in it's original color! If you do go with black at least leave it red under the hood, trunk, and jambs so it's easy to go back to red..

If you do go with black at least leave it red under the hood, trunk, and jambs so it's easy to go back to red.. It�s true that the outer panels are all pretty much rust free and straight except for some rust in the lower quarters but the condition of the outer panels is deceiving and hides some major problems. The inner fenders are rusted at the firewall and shock towers, the trans cross member and front floors are cheese cloth where they exist at all and the rear wheel wheels no longer meet the trunk pan. It was born a red 66 383 Satellite (drive train is long gone) that at some point someone mounted 67 hood scoops to and installed a GTX rear seatback.

I don't know if epoxy primer is the same but Primers tend to be porous and allow air and water to come in contact with the metal. Not enough protection for the metal underneath.

A little red accent color would look nice on it. Perhaps, a thin red stripe around the tires? 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

It looked pretty cool with its chrome bumpers and rims and stainless strip over the rear fenders, hi-jacker air shocks in the back 80's style to clear the lip over the 10 inch wide tires. Hilarious! I painted the top of my 57 Fairlane in primer white and that would get dirty overnight, it felt like a chalkboard and was a dirt magnet. 12 Grand Caravan 06 T&C 02 T&C 96 Breeze 65 Barracuda "S"

79machocharger OP master Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 5,443 ME	I said I'd post some pics of it painted and here they are. Still waiting on the decals. I decided to go with a satin base with a cheap satin clear. This paint job is just temporary while I save up to buy a couple of new quarter panels for it next year at Carlisle. I dont want to have hardly any mud in, and with the new quarter panels I wont have much. Once I get every thing i need I'll do the car up gloss black base clear. I figured I have fun driving it around like this for a while. I also ordered up special made black and white general lee decals for it, vectors, push bar, black the windows out, electronic dumps, 464hp and 515tq. 440 motor ready to install, dana 60, hemi 4 speed, tti headers, tti 3" exhaust, all new interior, power windows, new bumpers and much more. I think the car will look pretty neat done up like this and will be different. My plate on the car will be "evil-01" 4767630-DSCN2190.JPG (359 downloads)

I did my 66 dart gt convertable in NAPA epoxy primer in flat black and man she turned out nice, so say the compliments i git almost every time it leaves the garage. I do plan on spraying it with a flat paint next year.. This color is the sh...t man.

Then re-assemble the car. I mean they did it back in the day because the cars were whooped and they needed a quick coat of paint. To each his own I guess.

I don't know if epoxy primer is the same but Primers tend to be porous and allow air and water to come in contact with the metal. Not enough protection for the metal underneath. epoxy primer wont do that. but it will get chalky in the sun and all. they make an entire line of flat paints now that hold up to the sun

The paint (which is a valspar enamel made for John Deere to paint suspension/frame parts) has held up AWESOME. It is still dark black after parking for years under the sun. My '72 demon was painted 2K epoxy primer. I did a lot of body work and I wanted a bada$$ flat black car with the option to put real paint on top later. I wasn't sure if the blitz black would need to be sanded off to paint a regular base clear job. The demon looked great until I parked in the sun for a year- its really chalky, especially the roof.

Try House of Colors or any major paint distributor. Everyone is painting the hot rods this way now....just a temporary fad. I agree with a previous post, the cash it takes to do body work and then lay a matte finish to it. It is sure a gamble.

The white car had a pearl in the paint. It looked pretty good outside in the sun. We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse.

Quote: I really wanted to keep my car a flat white, but after seeing the cars in this thread and this car: I am rethinking that color choice. Wasn't that car blue before? with blue anodized rims (the same ones)...??? I had pictures ov that car, in blue, on my wall for years... Wicked car, either way.

The reason the enamel held up and the epoxy primer did not is simple. Primers do not have any UV stabilizers in them since they are meant to be topcoated with an actual paint. That is why, even though epoxy primer is not porous like some other primers, it is not a good idea to leave it exposed to the sun for any length of time. You are weakening the chemical makeup of the material and once it has been broken down like that, you'll need to re-primer it before painting if you want your paint job to hold up.
