Haha... I can imagine the panel beater fella's face when you told him that you wanna spray your whole car flat black!

I was quoted RM800 for interior and exterior of my car. But please beware, flat black paint is very easy to be diluted off your car's surface. Contact with thinner or even fuel can dilute the flat black paint.

The very reason why clear coat were sprayed is, apart from making your car look shinier, is to protect the paint's surface. It's called coat anyway... a 2k job is actually paint + clear coat...

Maybe you can ask around how to paint your car the same colour as flat black helmets. I'm sure the panel beater guy knows about those flat black helmets... if you can find out what paint are used on the helmets, share it with us.

In cantonese, we called it 'nga hak' = matte black. Cheers..

Whatdamn,

I, too, am interested in painting my Satria with flat black. This has been going on in my mind for months now. Whilst most ppl disagree with the idea, but for me, what the heck; I'm going for it. Post a pic when ur car is "stealthalized" :D
