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.

[dan23]

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.

[novalovingned]

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:)
