anyways... do it right, and have a painter paint it flat black. Spray paint and real auto paint are totally different

Mine's gradually getting a rattle-can paint job - it's flat black, but with a twist, since I'm using chalkboard paint. Easy to write on for race days, and easy to clean up afterwards...

There was an article in a magazine a while back saying how to do it the "right" way with spray paint. they did it on an STI if I remember correctly. IMO I think its a ghetto paint job but hey, it's your car. I think they still ended up spending like 150-200 on materials though.
DriftorDieTryin has id done on here, bur it was done the right way.

yea my friend was speakin of some type of flat black you can get its the kind of stuff the military uses on hummers and stuff like that etc. but i dont believe its aerosol (spray paint) but he was sayin that radar detectors etc. wont pick it up like it deflects the signal or somethin crazy you can get. sounded interesting but didnt know if it was a tall tail...i live like 5 minutes away from ft bragg and i know the military got some crazy technology but that would be kind of dope if its true he also said the finish is kind of glossy but not really he said it looks real stealth-like im gonna look into it hopefully im not wasteing my time
