im looking into getting the stang repainted flatt matte black.

i like the look of the clear coat shine and all but im getting tired of all the little scratches and little imperfections that comes from daily driving so i think getting the stang getting painted a flat black would be the best option. i know things will probably happen to that paint job too but i dont think it will be as noticeable..

has anyone done this yet and does anyone have maybe an idea of what it might cost me?
also what color code would match a good flat matte black for our stangs?

i would like to also try and do most of the prep work so cut the cost down a bit but i want it done right so anyone have any advice on what to do and the necessary tools needed for the prep.

thanks any input would be appreciated

Don't do flat black, it looks dumb, if anything do a satin black, it is like a semi-gloss. IIRC most people call it hot rod black. As far as painting it, the price will vary, I'd just start calling places in your area, and honestly, unless you know what you are getting yourself into I'd let somebody else prep it because that can be very time consuming and a pain.

go to a paint shop and pick up a flat black kit used mainly to paint old cars and trucks. I used the same kit to paint my strips and the under side of my hood. THe kit cost $90. You will need two kits to do the whole car. The kit has the hardener in it so you wont need the "shiney" clear coat. If it can come off take it off. clean the hell out of the car. remember when you start to paint if you see it you will paint it. good luck

Small pieces, like the lower parts on the 2010's, in flat black look ok. But the whole car would be butt ugly IMO. Maybe stripes.

I think white would be better for not showing small scratches and chips.

Flat black looks better than you think.



If you're going to do it use Ferrari's flat black from PPG paints, it's the high quality stuff. Paint code is fer777. I painted all my trim peices in this paint, ie window guard, mirrors, blackout panel, window louvers etc.

The job should cost $5000 the above one cost something similar if you do it the cheap way it will look like $hit:

you should look into vinyl wraps. its cheaper, protects the paint and can be removed if you decide you dont like it anymore. just make sure you go with a company that offers a warranty.

whats a vinly wrap?
just basically putting a wrap over the entire car?

Problem with flat black, is that it won't age right and looks rather dark gray.
It is also a biatch to maintain, every little superficial scratch can't be buffed out.
It's an indoor display color IMO.
