Flat Black/Matte paint alternative

The only problem I see with that site is that its in Germany and there is no link on how to get it shipped to the US, otherwise I'd definately request a quote cause my car looks like so much azz right now since the clearcoat decided to start peeling off on me and I don't want to fork out money on a paint job when I'm just going to paint it a different color when i finally finish building it up and get it kitted up and widebodied out.

true.... Im sure it'll make here to the US

In searching for companies that do the same thing I've found that you can go to any sign shop and request them to do it since they have the proper cutters and equipment to get the job done. But it'll probably cost ya just as much to vinyl it matte or satin as it would be to get it professionally painted in matte or satin.

I mean how much money would you save from doing the vinyl cover from a real quality paintjob?

Depends on if you know someone in the autobody industry and if you get a discounted price for doing your own prep and buying your own paints. Some shops will give you a decent discount if you bring the car in already prepped (taped off, sanded down) since that's the bulk of the work, if you know someone then you can get a decent chunk cut off the price. most shops won't allow you to supply your own paint since that's where a large chunk of the money comes from especially if you request to have it painted with HoK or the higher end automotive paints, but if you can find one that will let you supply your own paints and you do the prep work you should be good on get your car sprayed for a decent price. At that point your just paying the labor for doing the job and a price for the use of the facilities.

TTT, going to be painting my car soon, am looking at either John Deere Blitz Black with a flat clear or a satin battleship grey with a flat clear and go with the whole WWII fighter look. I'm getting it professionally done, my neighbor works for a local dealership as a painter in their collision department and will do it with my help for $100 plus the cost of the paint.
