Default a new look

hey guys. around december some time just after i got my t5 freshly rebuilt i got into an accident on some local city streets. it wasnt my fault and luckily he had insurance that didnt mind coughing up the money that the body shop needed. i dont have any pictures of my car after the wreck but it was bad sheet metal damage. hood was folded, drive side fender and radiator core support bent into the bay. my radiator was slammed against the water pump. when it was all taken apart it wasnt too bad, no frame damage since it was all up top damage. i got it back mid feb not too long ago and picked up these prostars for it. the car is flat black, what do you guys think

The dark flat black paint has always reminded me of a "gangsta" car, The paint makes it look mean and fast. Has anyone ever asked you if you are going to finish painting it.

What are scalops? Please no more stripes. Every Stang doens't need to have stripes.

I think that on certain cars, the flat black with clearcoat looks cool too.

Flat black looks cheap and person with $20 can have the same paint. Instead of using a clear, use this paint here. http://www.repaintsupply.com/pd-sem-...-paint-kit.cfm
It is a satin black so it has a similar finish as you have but looks like a finished paint job. The good thing is, you dont have to have perfect body work for it to look good.
save the rattle cans for the 16 year old homos that drive lowered trucks. they need all they can get.
