Matt Black FTW!!!

[Mike]

No, just no....

Satin black is what you want, matt actually looks grey, doesnt shine in the slightest & will hold on to all the mud n crap that comes anywhere near it. It wont wash off either.

looks poo imo

[MK999]

That nova looks rather exhausted.

Matt black works imo, but not as a cheap we'll do it matt black cos we won't need to spend more than 5 minutes prepping it and no one will notice if theres massive runs in it thing.

Looks good because it's a nice paint job, it's a bit different and looks cool if done right, although it does look best on something that is blatantly obviously not just been rattle canned in a shed, like the lambo.

edited because my pic was funking huge :p

[bai1ey]

i think it is ye but i didnt want to look silly saying it was lol

[Gibbo]

so whats the difference between mat and satin

[bai1ey]

satin has a smoother finnish iirc

[L33 LEG]

I always think that people who spray their cars matt black can't afford a proper paintjob :wtf:

Looks cheap and crap imo.

[Smurf-Xx]

haha yes your right bailey that was my nova in the first picture, bought it from some bodge job boys... it looked good from a distance but they had actually rattle canned it!! It needed some bright orange wheels on it!

[Jack]

I think matt looks good when done professionally, to a high standard, on the right car. The problem is, its often done as a quick DIY job on sheds, so 95% of the time looks rubbish.

Satin has a slight sheen to it. The black accents on my car are satin:

I had a satin black Mk4 Cortina shortly after I passed my test (years ago). It was brilliant, keep a couple of cans and filler in the boot. Get a knock, repair it straight away!! It was never gonna be a show car.
Never worried about parking dings or anything!! Not like now when I seem to be paranoid about my new fresh paint.

I reckon it can be a great look on a motor.:thumb:

thanks lads.and satin cant be chalked on ?

[craig green]

No but you can wipe fanny-batter off it easily. lol

I just find Matt actually appears grey in most instances because it is so dull it doesnt reflect any clour at all. Depending how far out you hold the paint nozzle/can, you can get satin to appear dryer or 'matter' than it should do anyway.
