My Flat Black Celica : Pics Inside Options

[Chanh55]

Painted my car over the weekend using cans, "flat black". Tell me what you guys think. All my friends think I'm psycho, one of my friends said it looks like a Batmobile now.

All body work done by myself, I had no experience in body work before so I think it was good experience for me. Check out the 96-99 clear turns. I'm probably going to wet sand the whole car this weekend there is some over saturation/ overspray in some areas.

Pics taken with my camera phone, car is a little ashy from the fires Cali's been having 30-40 miles away...:












You're looking at 96-99 clear turns custom molded on to a c-one style bumper.








(Shaved antenna hole, metal mesh and bondo )

looks great. flat black always has a spot in my heart.

dude that took major balls to do... a few things though.... you might not want to simply bondo the antenna hole.. over time it will crack... I have been told the only "real" way to do it is weld the spot closed.... Also since you are using a flat black, check into the no gloss flat black special celar coat.... it looks good overall. Props

really awesome man, im impressed

[BLINKYxMUNKEY]

Not bad. I have a friend with a 89 Lincoln Mark VII fully flatblack. And know a guy that had his Supra TT flatblack but its painted now.

VERY VERY nice! reminds me of this flat black skyline I always see around town. Looks great with the rims!

[Princess_Sparco]

i must...honestly..i think i found my favorite celica on this site...i love everything about the car...the cone front..gt4 riser blocks..the wheels..and the paint...looks extremely badass

[Digndoug]

Thats it.. you suck.. i was the only flat black celi with goldish wheels.. that didnt last long..

Nice though.. maybe il just have to change to somthing else..

[lagos]

you went from this..... to rattle can? it looks like a downgrade to me.

[Chanh55]

That was before my body kit and stuff... I'll probably get sick of this and paint her in a month or so. That is a nice pic though. =)

[Digndoug]

wow.. Why did you rattle can it from that>??????????

I just did it cause im doing body work..

[celicaST]

dude that took major balls to do...

you went from this..... to rattle can? it looks like a downgrade to me.

i have to go with lagos on this. flat black is nice, but i loved the way your celi looked! you crazzzy man

[LewFX]

i like the back emblem black! and the c-one hood matching. did you sand everything down then can it or spray over?
gotta do something about those rims!

i like it and i get where you are comin from since paint jobs aren't cheap

Looks good, but i'm curious what Satin would look like instead on the celi.
supposedly Satin has a tad bit more of a shine.

i freaking love flat black, i hate when kids are like so when ya gonna paint it haha but yea i like it a lot, flat black and silver (like mesh pieces in silver) look awesome together, but your car is nice

[urbandork]
