Flat Black?!

Snafu4286 · 05-10-2007, 08:02 PM

What do you guys think of a flat black S2000?

Java Junky · 05-10-2007, 08:23 PM

Will it absorb radar?
Question is Snaf, whudduyou think of it? I can't think of anything outright wrong with it (well, except that you might have a hard time tryin' to convince the nice officer that it was another flat-black Stewie that was operatin' in a politically incorrect fashion n' not you).
If ya goddadooitt, ya goddadooitt, right? But if the paint's in fairly good shape n' it's still capable of puttin' that stupid grin on your face when you're toolin' aroun' . . maybe jus' a pair'a cool lookin' shades. Certainly less work, cheaper n' easier to recover from if down the road should you decide it was a whoops.
N' then if you're gonna wax it all up . . it ain't gonna be flat anyway.
Be well.

Already been done.

Aaay Snaf . . maybe that idea of yours wasn't as odd as it seemed.
Scott's unit looks kind'a high-tech/business-like.
File this one away under "Who'd'a thunk it?"
Thanks guys.
Be well.

I don't care for flat black on ANY car except a Rat Rod.

s2000COP · 05-11-2007, 09:29 AM

Flat black or any primer that i know of has not defeated radar, at least in my experience

Scott · 05-11-2007, 07:00 PM

I think flat black looks too "unfinished" to me. Almost like you wanted to get a paint job, but could only afford the primer.

Now, satin black on the other hand. That's a beauty to behold. I've actually considered repainting my Subaru in a Pearl White/Satin Black two-tone.

Here's my friend's 240SX done up in Satin Black. It's hard to believe he did this himself in his garage.

Or even better, this Lotus I found on the internet.

Snafu4286 · 05-12-2007, 05:52 PM

Damn i gotta admit that satin black is fuckin sexy! Thanks guys...

Scott · 05-12-2007, 08:45 PM

Agreed. And getting back on your original topic..I think an S in satin black would look very sexy indeed. I would do it, but I love Spa Yellow too much. The only color I would really rather have is New Imola Orange Pearl

s2kseoul · 07-12-2008, 09:06 AM

So I just found this thread. Usually I am on the "other" site. Here's pics of my satin black s2k. It came out exactly how I wanted. Great shop did the paintwork and front bumper. Hope you like. Paint is from House of Kolor, pro painted and clear coated.

now that looks good! wasn't crazy about the idea till i saw that one.

DJJSR · 07-12-2008, 01:49 PM

Love the paint. I just did one of my bikes satin black. I'm thinking of doing it again with a little blue tint.

Is the clearcoat satin???

cmiller219 · 07-12-2008, 01:52 PM

color has nothing to do with radar. radar goes of the timing in the difference between the gun and the object its shooting. but i think flat black looks like primer

s2kseoul · 07-12-2008, 07:54 PM

Thanks for the comments guys. I just got the car back from paint again. I was doing something stupid and slid the front into a high curb. Took it back to original painters, they have been keeping extra paint for me. They did an excellent job yet again.

cmiller219, I'll let you see my car in person soon. I will be working near Andrews. The satin does not look like primer. It just looks different.

Scooter · 07-12-2008, 09:51 PM

Very nice look S2kseoul, ALMOST better than my original silver...

Actually the first time I've considered painting, I really like it. The gills are cool too...

Not only are they cool, the are very functional! They keep the heat from the exhaust header from being trapped in the engine bay when it is hot out. You can see the heat waves pour out of them.
