Don't do it Matt Black mate - With all the work you put into it I think you should do it a nice shiney colour
Full shell respray :)

I've been playing with the idea of Satin grey/silver for a while. These days you can do any colour satin ;)
An example of a RUF sprayed satin silver I saw at Goodwood last weekend:

Thought it would work well on a nova, with the hard edges, etc...

Check out house of kolour website. Theres loads of amazing porducts available on there. Matt black just doesn't do any car justice IMHO.

Grandad (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0668970/): [Rodney is furious after finding out the paint used on a decorating job was hooky] Tunnels?
Del Boy (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0419248/): What?
Rodney (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0528525/): No, he said that.
Grandad (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0668970/): Trigger said this was for painting signs used in tunnels. Well, how can you see a sign in a tunnel? It's dark, innit?
Trigger (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0516181/): Nah, 'salright, this is luminous paint.
Del Boy (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0419248/): Exactly, Grandad, it's luminous paint and that means you can see in the - LUMINOUS?

Nissan are putting the flat black on the skyline, I think it needs to be on a big car to look good.

How do you clean it. I mean, do you wax it like gloss paint? Or just use a desent shampoo.
dont do it black it will never look clean when the sun is shineing on it you will notice every little scratch
that skyline looks good in matt but not a nova.

the skyline does look very good matt black, but i agree it would have to be a bigger car than the nova to pull it of:)
