When using a flat black paint, after you sand the top coat is there anything which should be applied to protect it from the rain and moisture like a wax of some kind?

 

if there is no clear coat and you wax it, you will be dissapointed

 

i want it to be flat, i just want to know how to protect it

 

I have satin black on the hood of my MAch 1. It's not flat, but it's close(it doesn't have any clear on it). I've never really done anything to it except keep the car in the garage and it still looks like I just got it painted. That was about 4 years ago.

I say if you can just keep it out of the elements most of the time, you shouldn't really need to do anything. I realize not everyone has a garage, and if you don't then maybe you could buy a car cover or something until you can find the right chemical that you need...

 

alright well thats what i needed to know, i got a garage for my beast, but only one of them. The 05 is already beat up on the outside cause it got keyed so the fox can reside in the garage

 

yea if you have a garage, then you shouldn't have to worry about anything IMO

 

alright cool man thank you. 6.7 liter running on premi... i dont think it'll see too much rain lol. Its going to be expensive to drive so i think i'll just keep it in the garage unless its a marvelous day for a drive
