unless it's this car you should not do it.



same goes for "flat black" aka rice black. only exception is if you have like 8 different colors on your car i guess it's better to have flat black or white.

Flat colors, for the most part, are ugly unless done professionally.

hmm well i say give it a shot with white spray paint. if it turns out not as well as you thought it would just use black spray paint.

If the flat white doesn't work out.Bust out the sand paper and water and start wet sanding and get it shiny.Then it won't look ugly, and you won't have to go ugly flat black.

I think flat white is a bad idea. Whipping off oil and dirt marks would be a pain.

Man... just do whatever you want. I did my car flat black because I think it looks good, and also because I'm broke as a joke. It's like fashion trends trying to keep your car the "cool" color. Today everyone's like meh... it might be cool. Next week you're the ricer kid. Whatever, I like my car
