flat black e series

by **Another_ef** » September 22nd, 2010, 4:19 pm

hi lads and ladies this may sound like a stupid noob question, but has anybody painted an e series flat black specifically an eb????

by **EFFalcon** » September 22nd, 2010, 4:23 pm

I've seen an EA on AFF somewhere.
My wagon is matt black.

by **Another_ef** » September 22nd, 2010, 4:54 pm

can you throw a pic or two of it up for me mate????

by **EF ECTIV** » September 22nd, 2010, 5:47 pm

if done properly could look very good... flat/matte/satin colour, painted stockies in red, thick whitewall inserts with moon
disks... Next daily I get will cop this....

by **TUFED6** » September 22nd, 2010, 6:20 pm

I reckon it would look like arse. A 90's model falcon isn't a 60's model falcon no matter how much you want it to be...

the guy i bought my ef off has an au in matt black, with old school style pinstriping. looks pretty cool imo.

by **EF ECTIV** » September 22nd, 2010, 8:06 pm

here's a chop I had done of my old ED... dont mind this at all... even if it had white paint instead of matte black; any flat
colour really... either way I reckon it could look good, suits the boxy shape....

by **LOW_XR** » September 22nd, 2010, 8:46 pm

yuk. there is one getting around blackburn i see a bit. matte black red stockies, massive whitewalled 15's. looks shithouse. matte black suits hot rods and old cars.

did you paint your mirrors john? in that pic they look like just raw plastic mirrors.

by **EFFalcon** » September 22nd, 2010, 9:07 pm

the car had EA mirrors, i got a set of EF GLi mirrors, didnt paint them.
Still gotta paint the pillars gloss black

thats cool man I love it

I'm only asking cause i'm buying an eb next week hopefully :beg:

and its a chamapgne colour which i'm not a huge fan of but the car is so straight, oh so straight, and i was wondering what a flat black e series would look like with a nice set of wheels under it :this:

.

i dont want it too look like a rat rod with the black centre's and white walls i was jus thinking a nice set of black centred rims and a chrome lip for a nice look

by **EF ECTIV** » September 23rd, 2010, 12:48 am

if its going matte black I dont reckon the black centred rims and chrome lip will go... kinda like mix and matching
different styles... happy to be proven wrong though mate... I reckon give it go... would be a boring world if everyone
stayed the same the whole time...

Here's a VL done in the 'rod' type style (thats how the owner described it)... Was a feature car, and ran a 10.5 so
cant argue with the performance... I reckon its awesome...

by **nothin suss** » September 23rd, 2010, 4:39 pm

That VL looks horrid... Such a pity with that performance.

by **burnt turtle** » September 23rd, 2010, 5:23 pm

that doesnt make sense, the only pin striping is under the bonnet

by **bushman** » September 23rd, 2010, 6:27 pm

No you already have 1 flat black car, leave it at 1

by **EF ECTIV** » September 24th, 2010, 2:37 am

I think the VL i posted 'WAIVE' sold for 25k or there abouts so someone mustve liked it.... though VLT drivers do seem
really into their cars; almost obsessively...

by **Another_ef** » September 24th, 2010, 7:25 am

Wow some one paid for that vl? haha, bush you can never have enough flat black it's just like aids that shit never goes away hahahahahaha

I'll have to find some pics of my old EL which ended up as a skid car, flat black with a white bonnet. Just to poke a bit of fun at the drift guys lol

by **OZBMX** » September 24th, 2010, 8:54 am

hmm maybe if i can't sell my ef, that might go flat blak, as looks like a bomb at the moment. needs a quarter sorted and front bar.

A mate has sprayed his BA XR8 matt black, hes used killrust, looks awesome but scratches very easily.

any pics? Here's a pic of a matte black phoon too.... At least it looks like a phoon....Havent got any other details though....

by **misk** » September 24th, 2010, 5:58 pm

Proper flatt black can look like ass easily, satin black or similar would be much easier to pull off and look alot classier i reckon

by **EFFalcon** » September 24th, 2010, 6:02 pm

That BA above is just an XR6 from memory.
Its in carrum downs.

satin black with a low/no gloss clear would give the rest finish I reckon... would probably be the hardest wearing too....

by **pHaT`eL** » September 24th, 2010, 7:47 pm

That BA is also a big sticker IIRC..

Im a fan of the old school look, WAIVE is pretty mint, surfer styled (woulda looked better on a wagon

)

by **misk** » September 24th, 2010, 7:48 pm

yeah thats what i think also, anything less has the risk of turning out looking like you sprayed the car with export spray cans lol
we sprayed a mates bonnet with satin black just from a can and even that turned out really nice considering it was spray cans...
that kind of color would be the way to get the look that BA/BF has.

john, what paint did you use?

by **EFFalcon** » September 24th, 2010, 8:38 pm

went to an auto paint shop and got 4L of matte black acrylic.

it marks too easy though

by **misk** » September 24th, 2010, 8:52 pm

Thought it might be acrilyc.
Wonder if proper satin paint jobs have a top coat like gloss, but not lol

by **EFFalcon** » September 24th, 2010, 9:24 pm

they do.
you can get flattening aagents fotr the clear.

by **iliov** » September 24th, 2010, 9:31 pm

Some more of that phoon if anyone is interested.

by **EFFalcon** » September 24th, 2010, 9:32 pm

That ba is wrapped in vinyl

by **misk** » September 24th, 2010, 10:04 pm

lol cheaters!

by **EF ECTIV** » September 25th, 2010, 12:56 pm

I thought it could have been vinyl wrapped... its a trend that's taking off over here in WA... Perth Street Car did a article on an
R35 that was vinyl wrapped in matte black.... looked killer....

by **EFFalcon** » September 25th, 2010, 2:24 pm

The place that wrapped that BA also wrapped an R35.
