Matte Black Respray?

[Dahtone Racing]

so wat your saying is you wanna ruin your R34?

come on man its a paddok basher look

is that wat you really want your R34 to look like?

[predator]

think it would only look decent on a 32..

yeah, i saw a rod on sunday, that looked f**king awesome in the matt black and chrome. But it suits a rod, not really a skyline.

[MANWHORE]

that was a waste of a perfectly nice sIII gtr. looks like shit. Looks like my little brother painted it with a paintbrush to get back at me.

[MANWHORE]

2guup, I agree totally. People aren't going to go whoa, he spent $5k or whatever getting that resprayed.. nice paint job.

They're going to go

WTF happened there? is that black primer? looks like shit!

[Nozila]

id rather the glossing black one next the that matt black 33. btw is the hot rod you saw, a burnout purpose build one? if so i saw it when it was here at the drifts - mallala and a.i.r

Am planning on doing the hard-top Lada in matte black (note the 'e' on the end there folks). Am told the more realistic option is a flat satin finish - as matte (there's that 'e' again) marks very easily.

Will detail the paint options, prep and finish for you.

Mind you - I AM going for a 'cheap and nasty' approach for a cheap and nasty car. I think on the R34 it will look tough... but only if done perfectly. And it goes without saying for a car like yours we're talking flat satin, rather than matte primer.

Either way - Black Russian details to come soon.

Here's some... 

Should give you an idea of what it might look like up close.

Got a Jeremy Clarkson Top Gear video where he paints a Porsche 928 with chalkboard black paint... :lol:

that r33 GTR isn't just a paint job. the car is in the skyline museum of japan and is all carbon fibre

...as far as my recollection of the post goes, which was years ago.

Nah that's paint... see how the lower front lip has C/F, and the car has R34 wheels painted in the same matte (note 'e' James ) as the rest of the car

not too sure, it had big fatties, and was sort of bubble shape, so it could have been. But then again, aren't they all .. Didn't take photos unfortunately.

It was up on the goldcoast for a small hotroad show/meet..

[dezz]

looks like primer. dont do it

i agree with ya. i was just under hte impression that under that coat was carbon fibre.

i found demon daves post about it from over a year ago... he described it as a carbon r33 gtr... now that i reread it, i guess he was just referring to the colour

[nismo_au]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yeah, it looks unfinished at best... <_<

As someone said above it looks like it was done in $2 cans of spray paint. But its your car and your money...

[BigDatto]

Mad Max look... mmmmm.

[SS8_Gohan]

wow... thanks for the responses y'all!! i reckon the 32 looks good but the 33... hmm.... not so sure. But yeah, a little hard to tell from the pics but liking the 32.

So i'd be after a satin finish would i? hmm... ok, who's got pics of that?

James, would be absolutely tops to find out what's involved with the matte and satin finishes... might give Troy a buzz

it's funny how everyone either hates it or loves it... i asked a few ppl at work, and they were the same. Interesting

[SS8_Gohan]

V8skylineMAN: thankks for the pic mate, looks good on the old school cars i think... just not 100% on a R34 shape

shanef: that would be great mate... i think we need someone representing from the metallic corner

Timbo auzz: that was definitely a plan, metallic black but with some extra blue or purple pearl..i was told the Nissan black has a few layers to it?

Pete: matte/satin black, black rims, slammed, GTR kit, no rear spoiler, gold brembo's

rrage: i'm really liking that 32... looks like it has a little, little gloss/shine to it?? is that a satin finish as opposed to a matte finish? anymore pics at all?

nismo au: hey! now that's some pictorial evidence right there altho doesn't look the best does it, so this is carbon fibre with a matte finish? or just what the carbon fibre looks like naturally? from those pics alone, i probably wouldn't go for it.. probably after something darker looking.

looks like a f*cking stealth jet tho

2GU UP: i saw it on an old school (but done up) car a night time in Melb city, didn't get a great look but i thought it was tough, and something a little different. I think maybe if it's done right, and it seems more satin than matte... it could turn out ok.

Marcus: hahaha, don't think i'll quite head down that road...

[SS8_Gohan]

little something i found on my google travels... there is bugger all info bout this sort of thing...

i think this is a satin finish..

[SS8_Gohan]

then again when you see something like this..

makes you think...

Yep Yep.

Red Pin Strips too!

[Ronin 09]

my poll of about half a dozen girlies around my office / my mates resulted in more than half saying they wouldn't like it... might be a consideration haha!
