that zele z34 is jawdropping, its amazing what a real nice aero kit can do to a car, i hate the original FANG's on the oem bumper, lol

but thats not really orange, more like yellowish brownish orange, not lambo orange,

but someone on here has a tc with a orangish color, he had stock wheels and a viniati spoiler i think!

i dig that flat black Tc but i dont get why it would be hard to take care of ... the touching up part i can understand ...

being a porter (wannabe detailer) for a harley davidson dealership we get a lot of flat colored bikes that come in and they are by far the easiest to clean .. wash em and wipe em down with windex afterwards .. is there something i'm not getting?

from my knowledge, windex contains ammonia which is horrible for paint and only good on glass.

I know a lot of people that use Windex on flat paints. But I know what you mean, and yes, it isn't good for normal paint.

I have been wanting to do the flat black, but I would need it to have a good no gloss clear coat.

Point me in the direction of a no gloss clear bra?

I didn't say I have seen one. Just a custom one could be a possibility.

She was saying no such thing exists. And as far as I know, all clear bras or coats will create a gloss effect.

red, black, any color flat shouldn't be on a DD. ROCK CHIPS & NO WAY TO TOUCH UP.

Im going to have to agree. Mine WAS a DD and this is my third time repainting my bumper for rock chips. and for cleaning it, it all depends on what clear you use. Im using PPG and i cant use ANY product with a wax in it or the paint will start to shine. Alsa has a Flat clear that i was told is alittle better. and Diesel used BASF Flat Paint clear.
