Default Paint color question

I am considering painting the car satin black. This is how I want the car to look..


There is no clear on it... just wondering if anyone can steer me in the right direction on what paint to buy and where to get it. Thanks.

There is a black that stays semi flat even after being cleared. Looks amazing but is very pricey.

I would think that you'd want a clear coat on the car, even if it has a 'flatte' appearance...

That looks sweet though, in a sort of menacing way. I prefer deep dark shine, but that's a good look on a Fox for sure. I'm not sure you could pull it off on anything newer. *my opinion*

It is mostly used on black cars that want black stripes. Looks pretty good.

+1... matte black clear and a matte clear coat...that way you can still care for it like normal paint...



i wanna do this to my car eventually (the color...not trading it for a ferrari...even thought that would kick major ***!)

That does look good on a newer 'rounder' car... I was curious if it would look out of place on a car that wasn't geared for the strip.

It's a "stealth" kind of look that's kind of neat--looks like it should deflect radar or something...
