    After I get my motor done, on to the paint job. Painting it white, in between that, I'll get a pic up of it in primer.

    Primer and a professional matte or satin black are not the same thing.

    My car, and then yours, had flat black primer on the front 1/4 panels and hood. I always thought about doing the rest of the car that way and having something in gloss on top. I think you told me something about a car you saw in a mag like that.

    I saw it in a mag a while back. They did it in sport compact if I'm not mistaken. It was really ghetto. It was a brand new WRX Sti. They took the wing off the trunk lid, sanded the entire car and then painted it with rattle can Krylon/Rustoleum flat black. It turned out OK. But geez that was ridiculous. I mean come on.. rattle can the entire car? I remember the picture of all the empty spray cans... there had to have been at least 30+ cans.
