i think this is one of the nicest flat black ep i've seen so far
Sport Compact Car has a real thing for flat black paint. They have done a few WRXs flat black and I think a 240sx and a sentra in flat black. The last WRX they did in the BASF stuff. They made it look decent. But when they rattle canned their Blue WRX STI (which had perfect paint to begin with) i died a little inside.
Yea if anyone really wanted to do a car flat black i wouldn't suggest rattle canning it.
I saw that car and as a painter my jaw dropped and i still haven't been able to pick it up.
You have to find someone who has experience doing matte colors and is good at it.
Not everyone can pull it off!
point and spray evenly. how hard can it possibly be?

Well not to be rude but there is alot of technique that goes along with painting a car.
It's not just laying what ever material your spraying down evenly.
You are dealing with chemicals that can be finicky at times.
Doing an entire car flat black and making it look as good as the cars pictured in this post is not an easy task.
You're not gonna get a finish like that spraying in your drive way with zero experience using junk materials.
I so want the flares on this car......
My Eg is flat black......and soon will my Ep......the bad......there is no clear coatunless upgraded to a flat clear. So the sun will slowly fade the car unless it is garage kept. You can not use wax on it nor can you buff out scratches. The good thing about it is it makes the body curves seem so flawless and I become in a daze at times looking at it. The car being flat black is very easy to keep clean a simple rinse a day and a wash with waxless soap about once a month or so does it well.
I would have to say that the key component is good body work.....believe it or not dings/dents will show up with flat paint.
Also if you do take the plunge invest in a good quality paint.
my 2 cents.
