  • Satin black

    satin black on R32 GTS, good idea or no?
    also is satin black cheaper than a high gloss?

    kinda debating on it i was going to try bayside blue but then i have to strip the whole car to get the engine bay ect painted, and i dont have that money lol, just want something different than the other black skylines in town.

    is jet black a color? lol? sorry im not much of a autobody person

    I tried to find more pictures of this car when it was satin black, but all I found was the 2 pictures. http://www.torontonissan.ca/forums/showthread.php?t=625
    Looking for cheap parts? supguyex (Jon) is parting out his car. Good prices, good guy.

      done right its no cheaper, as the gloss clear is scrapped for a satin clear. but you need a straight as hell body as the dull luster is not forgiving for any imperfections. looks amazing though.

                oh yeah!!! satin black is the best colour in the world imo...
                looks great and unique but slides under the radar.
                when it's dirty just hose it off. looks good and is functional. can anybody say PERFECT?!

                  and Brian.. JDBB is pimp, but not a high quality looking paint.. good for your beat up track car kind of thing.

                    its hard for me to choose, if its the same amount of money as a high gloss paint job i just want a really dark black, really black with alot of shine.
                    but ill give it some thought, its awesome for a track car.

                      I like my cars to gleam...

                      However if I was building a track car, or anything that would get beat up regularly (a 4x4 that I always got scratched up for example) I'd paint it something satin/flat so I could just rattle can any imperfections and it wouldn't look too noticeably different.

                        Dont do black man... Like you said " just another black skyline ".... A custom color is not going to cost much more than a plain respray.

                        Take it from me. Paint it something a bit different and you will love it.

                        N who cares about painting the engine bay, black bays look best imo.

                        Just dont paint it purple lol

                            haha i as really thinking of copying your code :P haha kidding.
                            no i was thinking baysideish or nismo 350 blue something along them lines, definatley a blue.
                            the problem with flat black is theres a few flat black silvias, and i wil be "copying them" if i do it, thats why i was thinking satin but if its the same amountof money as a high gloss i might aswll pay the money for some nice paint.

                            what exhuast are you running it sounds mean!
