Metallic as it will shine a lot nicer

Ask yourself this: Would 50 Cent drive a matt black car? NO! lmao

**fix** · 03-07-2005 11:05

True but I think metallics harder 2 paint an I'm tryin 2 get it done cheap cheap

**shylock** · 03-07-2005 11:34

even better go for a burnt black like the fuel 8 series

matt black looks FRESH !

mate go for matt black easier to paint when its a solid colour. and to get a really nice shine a nice coat of laquer would go nice.

Mate of mine done this to a red nova once. Solid red with laquer finish. MIRROR shine.

looked the mutts n*ts

Satin black would be better than matt black.

Thats what im doing mine.

**Mike007** · 03-07-2005 22:52

Do you actually mean matt black, or just non-metallic? Matt only works on lead sleds and rat-rods.

I dunno, I want the car to be black.I only really know metalic black.To be honest I need to se all the different blacks in front of me so I can make a decision.I'll get down to halfords to look at the different shades an but it somewhere else

an wot the difference with satin black?

**Mike007** · 03-07-2005 23:02

OK. Matt black is matt - ie it has no gloss/shine and will look cr*p on a Nova imho. I think what you want is what is known as solid colour direct gloss black - ie black and shiney straight out of the tin without the need for laquer.

ok so I'm lookin at glos black then, does metallic black just add abit of a shine or summat?

**Nova_Tek** · 03-07-2005 23:12

thought thats what he ment lol. But yeh gloss black in that case lmao

**Mike007** · 03-07-2005 23:14

Metallic paint contains small 'flakes' of aluminium giving a sparkle. Solid black is just as shiney, just doesn't have the sparkle.

Mike

**fix** · 03-07-2005 23:15

oh an what type is original nova sr black?

**Mike007** · 03-07-2005 23:16

Pretty certain it's solid black (my old GTE was, anyway).

matt black says "I couldn't be bothered to paint the car properly".

most cars in matt finish look rubbish. Some of the satin jobs look nice though, especially satin pearls...

**Add_Gee** · 04-07-2005 14:02

Matt Black

Solid Black

Metalic Black
