        If the car is cheap, and you dont care, do it. Id personally like to see how it turns out. Do the e30 community a favor and try it. The 1st rule of becoming an R3v Martyr is do it right, document it, write it up, and take lots of pics! :up:

              What the hell? Fad? I've yet to see flat black painted european cars. The only flat black cars I ever see are the Russian Civics and Tegs that were beat to shit and bondo'd.

              Get the Duplicolor auto paints from Autozone. I wanna see the ghetto fab on my screen before the month is over!

                  I think it was Sport Compact Car that did a project 180SX, and an STi, and painted them both flat black, with rattle cans no less. Both looked pretty cool.

                  Fuck what anyone says. If you want to do it, do it.

                    yeah josh u hit the nail on the head... scc did do both their project silva and sti flat black....i would do it with spray cans also.....i will have to see tho its a thought being tossed around in my head....hell it would make my bronzit look a hell of alot better...then with some chrome euro bumpers....i think it would look pretty pimp....im going to investiagate this further....

                    only problem with the flat black is there will be no shine with the paint and it will be dull.......

                          Do flat black with some gloss black vinyl graphic shit on it, like the SCC Project S13... I actually like that a lot. Maybe a cool pinstripe design in gloss black vinyl down the side. Something small and yet cool.

                            Ive got a Devilbiss paint gun, so Id probably get some flat black, mix it, shoot it, and be done. Nothing coimpares to when i stripped down my go kart and primed it, then shot it with duplicolor truck bed liner stuff.

                              Assuming you'll use 2 stage paint, you can always see how the black looks before clear coat (which will be flat). If you like it, then coat in a satin (but make sure you coat it!).
