Paint options

Im thinking about painting the Entire Mustang a fresh coat of black to get rid of all the scratches OR...Flat black.. What do you all think?

[buckeye6669]

gloss black

How straight is it? Gloss black will show every little defect, ding and wave.

[chris91]

Definitely not Flat. That makes a car look cheap.

its pretty straight, i mean it has a dime size dent on the drivers side door from another car door. and has your typical scratches and stuff like that. its 10year old paint.

i found this....

I agree with Gloss. Just my 0.02. In the end its your car - do it the way you want it. Can't wait to see it at the cruise in either way.

flat black doesnt look bad if its layed down with a gun and not a rattle can

Gloss is just regular factory paint right?

i found better pics. also really like the hood on this.

Talk to plated and look into gm black. He told me it is close to being all black compared to fords which has some brown in it

I am using "gloss" in general as the finish type vice eggshell, matte, etc.

"super freakin' mirror shiny black". Whatever that color code by whatever mfgr that may be. I will say this though. The shinier the black the easier it seems to show scratches. Have fun.

I love a super shiney black. there really isnt anything that compares lol its jsut so hard to keep it that way when its a DD. Orignally i wanted to change it to white.

I think this is actually Satin Black but it was gorgeous. If it's done right I think flat black is smokin' hot. I wish we'd paint our other coupe flat black.

i love it!!

Those cars are great for two tone schemes. A deep glossy black on the bottom and some type of vibrant color on top. With a nice stripe color to break it up. Just an idea.

[heyitsmepugsley]

i think flat black is rowdy when its done right.

[redrocker]

im not a fan but its ur ride . build it ur way

[blown86lx]

Gloss black! I think flat black is cheesy just my opinion.

[plated]

flat black is cool,just not on a mustang,you need the new zo6 black with 4 coats of high glamour/high solids clearcoat wetsanded to a mirror finish:cool1: only way to do a black paintjob

X's 2.....flat black looks good if its done right, like everyone else has said its your car, me personally if I could afford a good paint job I think I'd paint mine Competition Orange, or Black.....:bigthumb
