ok so what does everyone think of flat black, i got the silvia conversion on the front with buddy club front and sides and a black widow back bumper with dual oval tip mufflers and some white 18" giovanna mitos, i been thinkin bout goin with flat krylon black for the past 2 weeks, i been gittin mixed reactions but generally that it would look f**kin sweet. the rims would stick out and look so hard i think

Erm, shouldn't you get it painted whatever color your car is painted?

flat black looks gay on the Skunk2 EP3 and DC5 (although the cars themselves are sweet) dont go off and do something like that to your car.

I think it would look great in a dark pewter grey color like you see on new Jettas

ON THE HIDEOUS CONVERSION?, yea it looks horrible, yea rite, sorry i dont wanna look like every other civic driving down the road. i do have to ask u if u have ever seen one in person, it matches the lines on my car perfectly. as for the flat black my boy who got a benz e430 just did his car in flat black im kinda excited to see it. ok heres another ?, what would flat black look like with some clear coat on it

hey flat black is the s**t if your going for a sleeper..... and man ur car looks stupid as hell with a silvia conversion.... but dont paint it flat black thats more a sleeper paint so you dont get attention, with a ridiculous conversion like that ur going to get lots of attention, prolly in a negative way but id paint it ITR white or maybe a metalic blue or something

Don't do flat black... please don't do flat black... With a sweet ass conversion like that you're gonna want a color to accent that.. Flat black looks cheap. Get somethin that's not gonna make your car look like a POS

have you ever seen in person a hot rod painted flat black.. its WAY differant than spraypainting your car with krylon.. a REAL paintjob done with flat black does NOT look cheap.. i mean it may not be for you.. but id certainly not say it looks cheap

i have noticed one thing about the comments, its seems the guys 16-17 years old dont like it too much but the guys in there 20's dont seem to mind, might tell u something about the expectations of this younger "fast and furious" crowd
