Yeh you're right, as young as you colour code it, i don't reckon you have a problem. i seem to always buy cars with air-con so im used to sweatin it out

yeah, you're problably right, i'm not going for a sleeper look. it's gonna have to be white =|

Hi Freakout,

I was thinking about it, and I reckon unless you are going to do the rat rod style, it would generally be considered an attempt to cover things up, like panelwork. If it were me, I would go a standardish colour unless I was aiming for that look. But its your car, so do it dosnt matter what I think.

cheers

well i surpose it depends on who paints it too if you spray ur car ur self unless ur pro its normally not that great a job im sure it would look good if it was done properly

For a sleeper matte Black would be cool, or grey for that matter.

The rough look is very deceiving.

I wouldn't go for it but. I'm with Whitesedan and Gxman, keep the factory colours.

Thats a mean ute beattie theres two flat black 1200s here in wagga doesnt look too bad matte is better

check this wagon drop in tha weeds

That one is cool! There is a MK1 Cortina wagon in Perth 'rat wagon' that is like this. I love it! Its just so retro cool!

Chris i agree with you 100%! I want to make my parts car into that style thing, with matt black paint, red rims with whitewalls, dumped on its guts, venetians, leather seats, a sunvisor, headlight eyelid things and an a10 with quad motorbike carbies and a straight through exhaust that revs to 10,000rpm.

Terry, would I be able to take you up on that offer? could you please do a kb10 with matt black paint, the wheels below and on its guts?

Thanks!

edit... i forgot pinstripes!

a proper matt/satin black paint job, red steelies with moon caps or simmiler, lotsa chrome, light red tint, dice and dumped... now that is H-O-T! Old hotrod stylin!

I would love to do that to a datto! Not EA falcon rattle can black to pass the pits coz its been pranged!

Maybe with some retro scolops too, and checkerboard... theres always checkerboard...

in my opinion i HATE matt black cars, makes them look cheap and sh*t. A faided painted car looks better...
