Blitz Black Turbo E30 (old thread was about Plasti-dip)

Curious as to how many cans you end up using total

Its at one right now I have to do a few more coats and some type of sealer that won't take away from the matte look

1st off its not done that was just one coat to show what i was working on (@blkbma I am planning to give it at least 2 more coats). 2nd that is just your opinion, I also don't see where you see its "whitish" may be its just an bit of light reflection.

Okay I'm sorry that was a bit rude on my part. I'm interested in seeing the finished product though.

Why not velcro?

and just attach the color felt you want on it? give it a real textured look.

If you are happy then that is all that matters and it does look better than what it did before..

Here is a better shot of what it should look like (My car, photo taken by MR325 @ bimmerfest)

I really love how your car looks the gun metal black is amazing and yours turned out really good +1

I'm sorry but that looks absolutely terrible. It's not even all black, its like whitish. What'd you pay, like $1.50 a can?

I used some primer/paint that I got from wal-mart spray can. I took this 2 days ago and I find it good enough for me. Actually I really like it. But thats just me

And it used to look like this, so really anything is better.

Could have just polished that and it'd look pretty damn good. Even if it didn't look good, it'd look better than what you did.

paint it.

Question: I seem too see a lot of this "spray plastic" and "wrapping the car" so it looks flat black, is there something wrong with buying a sander and some flat black paint because I'm doing it that way cause with my E34 and it looks pretty bad ass. All I have left is the hood and the top of the car.

This is what a real flat black paint job looks like. 3-4 coats (from memory) with Eastwood Hotrod black. I will put up some other shots one day.

You really need to know what you are doing as each and every little line/run/error will show up like dogs balls and its not like you can just polish them out...

Flat roller or spray? Rattle can flat black will look absolutely terrible because you'll probably see every line that you sprayed. A professional matte black will look decent, but in the end you still have a matte black car which tends to look really bad unless it's a super unique, super new, high end car. Plasti-dip and vinyl wraps aren't permanent (sort of) and can look better than spray paint.
