Satin/flat/rat rod black paint jobs. Let's see 'em!

[pachink13]

Title says it.

All black, some accent colors are welcome, but mostly "murdered out" black.

Ratrod lookin cars, or super clean all black, see what I saying?

Or maybe Black on gold trim? Sounds sleek.

Even blacked out bumpers and trim.

It's the style I wanna go with for my 74 DS.

Show me what you got, go!

Not a Mope, but a buddy wanted this thing painted with satin black John Deere implement paint. So I did. In a two car garage. with dirt blowing everywhere. Actually didn't look bad..

Though not black, I just picked this up.Poor crappy primer job.I like the satin look, and if all goes well it may end up a darker grey.

Temporary solution but it looked pretty good

Just got mine all stripped to bare metal and in black epoxy primer two weeks ago, so here's how it is sitting as of now. Body work is done, blocked and black epoxy coated again on the entire rear end, roof and driver's quarter panel. That was the worst of it. everything else is pretty straight and only needs a few small patches here and there.

Nice to have it all one color finally!

I've thought about throwing a weekend satin black paint job on my Dart. Sure beats the hell out of having $10k and three years tied up in one. Here is a Dart I found on line.

Hmmm. I like this idea. I hear flat is the new glossy!!

A little motor oil rubbed in the paint it looked like this! :wack:

Loving it! They all look pretty sweet. Yeah I don't have money or time to have it sit in a shop for too much $$$ once it's finally running. Anyone got Anymore?

Mine has a flourescent green 318, so I'm thinking the rest of the car black. So I can lean on it and stuff and not worry about messing it up. Daily driver too.

I'll get pics of it once it's back from getting the wiring harness done.

Hey that's looking great! Nice to have it back to 'all one color' eh?

This topic, the trend of "Rat Rod Black" or similar, reminds me of what my dad said was popular when he was in high school. Guys would take a perfectly good paint job and cover it with primer! He said the idea behind that was to make it seem more like a "hot rod project car" in the middle of its transformation! (That was in the 50's)

A suggestion - tell us what paint is used.
SPI makes a nice deep flat black epoxy primer with UV inhibitor for potential use as a topcoat.
I imagine Hot Rod Flatz makes black.
Ordinary primer won't handle much sun.

At $25 a gallon the John Deere Blitz black has become a pretty popular choice.

Thinking along these lines, agreed. Done the show car thing, maintenance was a pain to me.(like the gloss black "ghost stripe", though..).

Sure can't beat the price. Do you you if it has uv inhibitor?
If it's garage kept might not be an issue I guess.

Hey guys,

My boss has a Corvair with a rhino line paint job, he said they mixed some red paint in it and cost em like 1,300 and it's bitchin! Super easy to clean, super durable. Flat red paint kinda rad rod lookin. It's pretty cool.

What do ya guys think?
I'd either stick with black or a flat white. Too hot out here for black I think.
