Should have done it in satin! Sure it'll look reet when its all done, just matt black zs' are getting well common!

All you need to do now is buy markogden's zetec se and you'll be well on your way!

did you see my post on zsoc haha?
ive pm'd him about it

whats the difference between satin and matt?

[pjdj1989]

I was one of the people who fitted into his car.. Its a good runner like what's been said in that post.

The easiest way of discribing the difference is that matt can look dull, whereas satin has a 'shine' to the finish, but nothing like the finish you get with a gloss colour.

[fezza89]

satin has a mid sheen finish

[Ratspeed]

satin has a sort of satiny finish

[FiestaBen]

Loving that front bumper, can't wait to see the rest of the car done in it!! You going to go the full hog and do door shuts/bay too?

[Michael!]

sure am! everythings getting down, im even considering some black suede for the roof liner and custom door cards/seats etc...

proper little stealthy thing !

[jonyb4]

you tit

[FiestaBen]

Do the door cards yeah, speak to Adam about them as he's retrimmed his but personally, just buy 2 half racing seats for the front, and take the rears out with a roll cage

[Michael!]

im keeping the back seats out, but only so i dont have to give anyone a lift! or play fudgekin taxi haha!

[Michael!]

[Fraggle]

[FiestaBen]

[Michael!]

bonnet above the headlamp?

The whole bonnet couldn't be arsed masking over the sticker
So this happened... "lightbulb"

Pictures of the result to follow when I'm
Home

[Michael!]

BOOM
how it stood yesterday, the passenger side is now also matt black, couldn't get any good photos though, they will come tomorrow


One more ...

[jonyb4]

i said it was by there and told me no the whole bonnet lol


are you doing this spray with a rattle can?

i take it you've never sprayed a car aprt with a rattle can before, never works always ends up getting chipped easy or flaking, id avoid large/obvious areas with a can at all costs, eg bumpers bonnets doors etc

mirrors and bump strips is ok though

[Michael!]

Ive sprayed a few things before, the bonnets turned out worse so far, bit patchy...

But the rest is mint! I'm going to buy some more and get it all finished next week. I'm surprised with how good it's turned out actually Jon!

[jonyb4]

It's a mirage mate, once its out in the elements and that it will show

The amount of times I had to reprint my mk4 bumper

Matt black is different.

[pjdj1989]

Matt black is different.

how?

[jonyb4]

lol

i know what he means it more of a "hardcore" paint and will stick better than a gloss, but at the end of the day some home done diy attempt paint job is never going to stick as well as a well prepaired body shop job lets be fair

no offence, ive just realsied that its best not to even try as it is relentless, im even regretting doing my arch kit, where my foot hits the skirt when i get in its left deep marks and the paint is coming away, and where the door rubs slightly

[Michael!]

Tbh, as you may have noticed, I'm
Not really that arsed about my cars THAT much, I'd rather have a car that looks OK, an goes like f**k!

I.e... My quickish zs, with a s**t rattle can paint job

That have a mint looking 1.2


Personal preference though I think, as long as it's fast and it sounds good I'm
Not really arsed what it looks like, as long as it's ok

Might go rat after this matt paint :/ less up keep !

[Michael!]

right side of my car


IS NOW MATT BLACK

pictures when its off bricks!

Totally disagree. All depends how good you are at using rattle cans and the prep work, not the cans in general. The bumpers on my car are done with a rattle can and the finish is spot on, no lumps, has never flaked, is as soft as the rest of the car and has a perfect shine too!

[dontpannic]

Matt black is different.

how?

Don't know, I've always had more success in blending Satin and Matt black rather than regular paint with lacquer. My old wheels were satin blacked, and I could just spray straight over stone chips etc and it would dry so that you couldn't see where it had been sprayed.

[~nomad~]

Satin and matt black both go on way easier than gloss colours, far more forgiving. Gloss can be done fine with no problems, if you prep well. Obviously a large flat area is always going to be trickier.

This engine bay was painted in Candy Cherry Red by me, with rattle cans.

[leighk2010]

agree with other its all in the prep if you skip on this then your paint wont stick very well and will flake etc but good prep is what makes a good spray job

when i worked in a bodyshop rattle cans were used on some bits and the colour match and finish is just as good its not the rattle can.

also rattle can paint is only 1k were as paint used in a body shop etc is 2k which makes it slightly harder wearing as is mixed with hardeners

[EUFez]

The paint job on that looks great Nomad.

Keep it up mate. Spray it all Matt Black, slam it, get some nice shiney wheels. Sorted...
