i painted my bumpers black yesterday

looks tough as now,

there is no chrome let on the car other than my nissan badge on the front, yay

makes a huge diffrence, and a good one too

will post pics soon

What finish was the black?

satin, matt, gloss?

it was matt

i have seen this satin stuff on the shelves a lot, is it just supposed to be half way between matt and gloss or what?, the lids on the cans dont help much

yeh satin is a bit more glossy than matt but still very flat, i'd like to see the pics it would go with your black wheel arches i'd say

Satin Black kicks ass.

I recommend using it on internal black things, like the handbrake lever, and the front and rear door 1/4 window metal window rails.

let me get this straight......you dont like chrome on a datsun 1200?

Most of the blacked out pieces on cars are generally done in satin. However I'd like to see some pics of the car before I pass judgement.
