Anyone have a flat black race car? - 04/01/09 09:16 PM

I'm so sick of my car sitting in primer and not having the $$$ for paint. I've seen a few brand X race cars with the flat black treatment, and I'm considering going that route with the Dart. So . . .

Let's see some flat black Mopar race cars.

OR . . .

Are there any members in the Savannah, GA area that can paint a car and stay within a budget?

I've loved this car for a while and have been REALLY tempted...but the wife says we're gonna do a pirate themed wrap on the Dart soon...

Here's an altered I recently ended up with....

How much does it usually cost to wrap an entire car? I would think $3-3500?

Installed that figure would be correct....but If I just design ...print...and lam and you prep and install...looking around 1500-2000 with quality 3M materials...or 1200-1500 el cheapo !...but wraps dont hide dents...so you need a fairly smooth surface to start with.

This isn't mine, but some day I hope my little 66 looks similar to this one I found on the internet.

Check out John Deere Blitz Black!

It's little more flat than semi gloss, but I think it looks cool,

You see it on a lot of the old school street rods. About the same dull shine that you see on repro patch panels, quarter panels, hoods, etc.

Black in general takes very poor pictures at the race track. Most tracks the pavement is black so the car never pops in pictures. Don't expect many pictures from track photografers. Won't get as many sponsors attention either. My

Got anymore pics of the Nova? The detail on it is unbelievable, fake painted rust, and a pretend chip in a pretend parking light lens. Pretty cool.

It's mostly a street car, so I'm not looking to be photogenic or looking for sponsors. If it does go black, it'll be John Deere black. The reason I even considered the flat black thing is because I think I could spray it in my garage and have it come out decent. I'd really prefer a nice silver like the one used on the new Sebrings, but I don't think my skills are up to the task. I am new to the Savannah, GA area and I don't know any decent body shops to trust my car with. All the major bodywork was done ( and done well ) back in RI, so besides finishing up the engine compartment and trunk area ( which I will do )all that is left to be done is to block and shoot. Should I just say Maaco?

I'm sorry I thought it was a race car since we are in the race board. Carry on.

No apologies neccessary, I guess to some it is a race car since it is being built to run low 10s or better, but I drive it on the street too. I guess you could have me kicked out of the race section if it suits you.

Yes, the nova is SICK. From 10 feet away it looks like a barn find Yenko drag radial car. It RIPS too.

I found this pick of the Yenko Nova a while back. Not the best, but a different angle.

I don't know him personally, his Moparts name is "heads-up" . You can try PMing him and ask him.

This thing is so black you can't take a pic with a flash because it probably absorbs the light like a black hole.

Very very cool looking.

I think the hip term is "murdered out".
