Default Flat Paint

Would flat colors look good on a Mustang. I have been looking at them and think Flat Blue is pretty cool. Anyone know how much a paint job for them are?

All depends on where you go. You could go to Maaco and get the presidential treatment for 399, and they even paint half you windows and trim for ya. Or, you could get a really good paint job for over 2500. A neighbor had a good paint job done on an old vette an i think it was almost 2000, and thats for a fiberglass body. I would imagine a decent job could be had for somewhere around 1000 but I'm not really sure.

A paint job, done with the proper materials, done with the proper prep work & doing a complete & proper color change...phew....

Materials alone will run over $1,000 - easily. Prep & paint will surely exceed 2,000. Better start saving or parking the car at the supermarket/mall next to the biggest piece of crap cars you can find.

I don't think you want flat paint either. Like they said above, for the accents only, and get matte instead of flat. When I got my spoiler painted I was told the flat will look like shiz in short order.

You don't like your car to be shiny?

Flat paint is for people who cant afford a real paint job, so they buy 10 flat black spray paint cans and paint there car in there garage, DO NOT paint your car flat.
