Well since you couldn't have been anymore vague in your question I am going to go out on a limb here and ask you what do you plan on painting flat black?

[Kenrik]

I tend not to answer questions nicely to people who can't spend that extra one secound to type "What" insted of "Wut..." Why should I spend thirty secounds to answer if you can't take that extra secound?

[Kenrik]

And unless you are painting your engine black this is the wrong place to ask....

[ddgsxr504]

Relax, Kenrik, some people just need "special attention" sometimes that's all.

[s13drft89]

Alrighty then, i will use what instead of "wut", (as i have seen other people use it in this forums, andnever had any problems. I will be actually painting the car flat black, iam not sure what type of paint i should use, i mean this guy had done his s13 this color with a spray can http://www.sportcompactcarweb....ilvia/thats what i would like my car to look like(for now). So if theres any input, please help. Also what section should i put this in. Thanks

[Kenrik]

You would put it in the 240sx Silvia forum or the General Chat...

Don't Spraypaint your car... that's ghetto and expensive ($5 a can X a ****load of cans) you can take it to a paintshop and have them prime it flat black if that's what you're looking for. The KA fourm is for talking about all things related to the N/A KA engine

holy ****, ive never seen a can of flat black paint for 5 bucks a piece. i must be at the wrong stores...who knows. walmart has them for 98 cents a pop. just use those, unless you want the "high quality" paint, but since your going to flat black it then im not sure if it really matters..make sure your AC works real well.

[s13drft89]

Hey thanks tony, what type of spray is it called, iam just usgint the flat black for only a month until i get my paint job, because i fininished the body work, and its all pink,green,black and other colors from the bondo, poly etc...But if you can get me the name of the can ,and or what it looks like that would be great, thanks a million

[240sxjeff]

the walmart can tonynalli is referring to is like blue w/ little yellow highlights. It is the only spraypaint in the walmart paint section thats for 98 cents shouldnt be too hard to find

[Kenrik]

You know you're right!! you can get cheap *** black paint for like a buck a can i'm so used to buying special paints (High heat etc.. ) that I did not think about that really uber cheap stuff... still going to take A lot of cans though!

[s13drft89]

Yea i know, but i rather have it looking flat black rather then a rainbow, from all those bondo spots, thanks for everyone's input

[ddgsxr504]

Go with a brand that adheres well to the body, you can usually check the back of the can at the store but I am guessing you should go with Krylon or something like that. Do have pics of your car now? I kind of like what SCC did with their project silvia, flat black is cool. If you actually used it as the color that would be awesome, just paint it flat black and then have them spray some clear coat over it!

[s13drft89]

unfortunaly i do not have a picture of my car, nor a digi camera. But when iam done painting it, what grid should i use to wet sand it, thanks

[onosqv]

If you spray paint your car flat black, please keep in mind they don't last nearly as long as real paint, so you will have to paint again and again, even w/ a clear coat - washing will also be kind of a ***** w/ leaking paint - but you probably aren't going to wash that often.

Lastly, if you even plan on painting the professionally, they will most likely charge you more for prep work since it's a ***** to do w/ spray paint.

If you do it right, you can get it to look reallll nice, there was a member on here who did an enamel like blue, looks great.

I've seen rust-o-leum in action, real nice enamel black on bare metal - perhaps you want to prep your car some so it won't look completely like ***.

I have seen both good and bad primer jobs, mostly bad.

[Florida240sx]

When I paint my car I'm using rust-o-leum

[ians-ka]

after you paint, i would put 2 coats on anyway, but i would go with 1500 grit first to get all the high spots and drips out, then finish it with 2000, just remember to WET sand it, it keeps the paper clean and removes the dust off the paint as well.

[srdrps13]

that color from the link you gave is a krylon flat black not from a can though.

[90SXSE KA24ET DREAMS]

yeah i'm a newbie to this forum but wow i just gotta say man why would you even ask something like that? flat black is flat black.. there's nothing special about it.. black is just well black there's no other type's of flat black. LOL just go to the store and buy 4 or 5 cans and to help you out better there will only be "ONE" type of black there on the self... wont be any other's of black. hahaha.

i done my 240SX with black spray paint didn't even primer it.. took me 4 cans and i did it becasue my 240 was a green color that would make you puke and that's the only reason why I did mine.

[s13drft89]

Umm number 1, the reaon why i had asked, flat blacks are not all the same please get that straight, i have tried 4 actually 5 different ones, all of them adheise differently, so please next time you say something like that know what your talking about.

[90SXSE KA24ET DREAMS]

okay if you say so... flat black is flat black to me.

[srdrps13]

flat black is flat black.. just the quality of it
