Thinking of painting my car before scion independence...what matte color should i get? I'm stuck on red or black. If you vote other, let me know what color. Thanks.

Flat black has somewhat been overdone what about flat forest green or something of that nature

^^True but it still looks sexy. What about matte Battleship Grey lol, I think that would look pretty awesome.

Matte red with a matte black hood and hatch would look very dope.

you going to paint it your self ? would you have to clear it with a matte clear coat ? I am in the same boat man.

theres a lot of matte black cars in arizona...the only matte red car ive seen is the vivids sti, and gtr. green is so hard to pull off here. matte blue looks hella nice. but i dunno yet. so many options for only under $520. my interior is red, so maybe ill do matte red. plus i have a cf hood. but idk this gonna bug me for a good week or two. keep the suggestions coming.

Is a matte paint job really that cheap? Is that with door jambs and stuff too?

scikotictc232

you spraying it your self ?

Matte paint jobs are expensive. Especially the flattening agent you have to put in the clear coat to give it that matte/flat effect.

flea have you ever taken pics of a paint job step by step ?

FLEA

Nope, never really thought about it. People have a hard enough time doing their tails and interiors. Definitely don't want people to attempt to do their own cars.

$520, that is EXTREMELY cheap. Who is doing it? Same supplies as a regular paint job but add flattening agent. So how it's cheaper...no idea. If you can get it done that cheap...go for it.
