What's your Opinion on Satin/Matte paintwork??

Thinking about doing me my98 scoob satin black...

[smiley kylie]

Go for it

Ive recently resprayed a motorbike that same finish

[Jon B]

cheers

was thinking it would look pretty sweet in satin black with white wheels......

did u use a 2 stage or single stage finish???

[StrikE]

Yeah that would look the dogs dangle, when you getting it done?

[Jon B]

going to do it sometime in the next few weeks... need to boot my dad out his garage for a bit till i prep it lol.

[colin_ross]

I love this look.

I've considered it many times. Best option seems to be a vinyl wrap and then when you get fed up with it, or want to sell you just peel it off. I got it priced and £1k is enough to get a professional job.

If I wasn't trying to keep the car looking standard I'd defo have it done.

Oh my god! That's the sexiest scoob I've ever seen... always wanted one in satin!

I just had a loooooooong trawl on the net for matte classics. Not many about but i did find a dude in the czech rep. who built and wrecked and rebuilt his track/rally car in matte black. Link to his thread below, pages 2 and 3 are probably the most interesting/relevant.

I was thinking of doing a matte black for my car but decided more horses would be more fun!

[Jon B]

tbh satin black isn't a costly job if you can paint cars...

i'm looking at about £200 all in for the paint and maybe 2 days prepping and 3 painting.....

i've went for a single stage satin.... cos 2 stage can have problems with the matte lacquer... with single stage its a whole heap easier....2 days prep and 2 days paint with extra day for unforseen issues..

that and my trade is auto body.... gonna do whole spray job myself...

will upload tutorial if enough interest.....

gonna hire a booth for 5 days..... so gives me 1 day extra for unforseen issues.... can get booth for £80 per day....

was thinking satin black with cusco ze zero graphics in white and red......white p1 style wheels... all opinions greatly recieved...

[colin_ross]

all opinions greatly recieved...

Do it

[lewisscoob]

Well if you can paint then it will be cheaper!

Dont bother with graphics, get some chalk and you can do your own graphics, til it rains...

[kennybspec-d]

this is gonna be epic

[thewelsho]

Do it

I agree, 100% That's my next look for the car I think... and 1K is a great price! Who does it at that price Colin?

[camcq]

I would go for it mukka.

Iam in the process of doing mine satin white, with a slight pearl flip. and its going well so far.

[rio180]

looking forward to a progress update and pics

I just googled "Glasgow vinyl wrap" and it was one of the first hits. Guy is Glasgow based and has a picture of a merc ml done in satin on the front page of his web site. I think £1k is me rounding it up as well, could have been a bit lower.

In fact here you go

Group buy could prove interesting

[StrikE]

Must admit this looks so so sweet, would be a complete eye catcher.

As said above just do it

The subtle contrast with the vinyl graphic is even better, minted

[C_WRX]

Reckon it could look very good Jon, be quite interesting to see it.

Wrapping wise I remember reading through this, cracking looking car and quite informative. Sure there's plenty other write up's like it out there but just keep remembering this one.

Looks the nuts Col, very stealth ! .... I think you'd be better off going this route before the wrap though..
