Matt black looks old, faided and tired. Next people will be wanting to see photos of 'rat look' Z32s!

 

I have a few pics of matt black Zs.....they are all horrible.

A member on here had a matt black zed, here you go.....

 

 

 

Chalk board on wheels.

Just looks wrong.

There is something alluring about a matt finish. At the nurburgring last year, there was an 09 Bently Continental, finished in matt black. I am about to finish my bonnet with some decals in a matt finish, as the paint is pretty shite. I dont want to give away too much on what i am about to do, but i will post the pics when it is done, in about a week or 2, and see what you all think, be it good or bad!!

Si is talking out of his @rse again I see ;)

Do a search mate, it's been covered a lot (by me, amongst others). Matt black looks great.

Not at all. It just looks cack. A gloss black is far more pleasing. ;)

I like it, really like the rear lights on that other Zed in the link. Where can i get them?

Thanks for the input guys... I knew there'd be a mixed response

 

A mate of mine brought his manta to a meet the other day - the styling is very 'mad-max-ish' but one thing that really suits it is the matt black paint. And someone a few miles away has just has his VW transporter painted in matt grey, I must be honest and say it looks great, however not sure I'd be brave enough to do it to a 300zx?

i saw a matt black lambo the other day drive past me, at first glimpse i did think there was something wrong with it then i realised it was just matt.

 

Suppose to be really hard to maintain the paint as well as its porous.

its easy to repair though, just go down to halfrauds and buy any tin of matt black and spay over! Sorted...

More and more new cars I see are matt black, Ive seen a Jaguar X-Type in matt black, and I have also seen a matt black VW "towrag". IMO they do look good but still not as good as a high gloss black one would

I am having the work done on my 300 tomorrow (hopefully!!) if the weather prevails, and i will put the pics up if the job gets done!! You may like it, and then again, you may not!!! Will post tomorrow.
