Flat Red... Can A hatch pull it off?

[bloodspread]

I dont like flat red, my last 240 had the right side painted flat red and it sucked and didnt look so good so I repainted it.

just get a cheap paint job$300 paint joband two years later: before I sold it, not the best paint but decent and I didnt care about door dings and dents.

I wish i never sold it

from the link i posted? i thought it said "tractor red" in his 240lookis thread... ?

[Scuffed_ChukiCoupe]

no from the guy above. im about to go look at that link u posted now i couldnt on my phone.

[2.4Loflove]

word, I thought you still had the flip-ups. Xenon would be a no go on silvia

[gnvarnadore]

i say go for a flat red or satin only because hatchs have the ability to pull off just about any paint color even with a silvia front. coupes on the other hand are another story and need carefull concideration when picking a paint color.

flat paint looks like s***.... period.

that GTR is ruined.

[HoosierSX]

[sliptones629]

Anything could look good.... I kinda like my one now mostly flat red quarter

Its like 2 tone red type jdm cool something or another

[Kalypso]

lower that 2.5 inches and pull your fender out and on top of it.

[sliptones629]

my roller came in the other day. that is part of the plan though. roll and a lil pull. dont know how low i want to go. thats why i didnt show the front. gotta beat some seams and move some harnesses. not to mention it is still the regular red

[Kalypso]

I totally agree with this. This crap is sooo trendy. I'm mean I like a nice fitting set of wheels and some subtle body kits. But let's get real... tires stretched and cambered so hard that you end up with less of a contact patch than stock 15's. And the whole zip tied body kit thing is effing retarded. It gets to a point where you're just trying too hard. And what makes it completely intolerable in my book is when you are rocking a stock KA. Ya know what that is??? It's facking RICE. And to the OP... paint your car gloss. You'll be happier in the end.

facking RICE indeed

thanks, despite this thread and the want to just do it just because i think im gonna gloss it. I bought it 2nite got good news and bad, but ill get to that on my build thread from months ago which ill start up again with pics by tuesday.

honestly, I don't like flat anything...

flat sodas, flat asssed chicks, flat chested chicks, flat tires... and esp flat paint

Flat , Satin , matte , whatever you want to call it, Looks STUPID on cars. The ONLY exception would be old old old rat rod kind of cars.

I wish people would stop ruining their car with this new "trend".

If you want your car to look stupid, flat it.If you want it to look like a real car, clear it.

(in my opinion)

Sums it all up.

It's thought processes like these that are the reason MOST Jersey S-chassis look like crap. People trying too hard to be "out of the box" or "anti-trendy". It's SO easy to make a 240sx look good but people around here always find a way to f*** it up...

[Scuffed_ChukiCoupe]

No, some people over do it, like... furry shifters and glove boxes.... and pointless drift charms and other stupid crappy things... im not that kind. I know exactly what yure talking about.. ive seen some nj 240's

Dude, you see how nice, clean, and glossy your car looks in your sig? Why would you want to mess it all up with flat paint?

I say no for flat.

[Scuffed_ChukiCoupe]

im not flatting it.. look a couple of posts up. and in that picture lmao its probably the dirt mixed with hdr making the reflection lmao. You should c my car now it looks beat... i took it all apart. only thing on is the headlights n bumper signals. no grille no lip no corners.

[sliptones629]

some body shop in L.A. my dad has taken a few cars to get painted there when he worked for my uncle at a used car dealership. not the best paintjobs but well worth the 300 im sure there are more shops that are willing to do a cheap paint job if you do the body work.
