What black would you go?

To be different go flat, to be the norm go glossy! If it wasn't my wifes car I would make mine flat, they look sick like that. Speaking of Rob and Big, I crack up so hard to that show, love it!

I love gloss black as long as it is on someone elses truck. I got tired of washing the truck everyday. After trying every color GM offers, I have gone the other way. White is easy to take care of. Just my .02.....

The good news is, you get a lot of exercise with black.......

well flat black is basically just paint without clear coat...I think..

Gloss!
Flat may look cool today but in a year from now it might not be as cool, and then you will be stuck with it. A flat paint job might give the appearance that your Tahoe has a coat of primer to the average person.

Sorry, but no.

Well, if you have to paint the whole thing, check out the "black granite" they have on the new malibu... it's black with metal flake

Dont ask me why I was reading this magazine called "Heavy Hitters", but I was. . .haha. Its basically a mag documenting the rich but not so famous, their cars, and high end automotive trends. They said that the hot trend is the flat black look. It does looks hot, but it devalues your car greatly. They also added that they can't see this trend continuing for much longer because of this fallback. Just be aware that if you get flat black you may have to deal with this!

Sorry, but no.

well why don't you inform us on what is it...since you obviously know

if ur gonna do flat black you might as well collect all the money from ur insurance company then go buy some black primer and do it yourself, you'll look like the ricers with the half way done body kits....

why is it that once a celeb does it then it makes it cool?

maybe you should do black w/ a light touch of metallic, (extremly light metallic)

3 ways actually.

1) Flat paint (clearcoat otional)
2) Gloss paint with a "flattening" agent added (clearcoat optional)
3) Gloss paint with a "dulling" clearcoat overlayed

:shhh:
