As above any pics of satin or matt black mini's greatly appreciated, as I'm planning painting my mini with chalkboard paint

Have you thought about having a vinyl wrap?

this was mine when I rattle canned it in satin





i found that it needed a coat of grey primer 1st though to get it to an even base or the varation or colours below (where I had been out with the DA prepping it) still showed through. Was a paint to keep it clean, any water on it and it just marked.

Did spray my Eunos last year in MoD satin blue, that was great paint as it sort of cleaned its self

how my old clubby used to look when i got it (bar arches and wheels)

We sprayed it (did 3 cars in a weekend and would have had a 4th done but the owner didn't like the level of gloss in the paint so his was done with a matt a couple of weeks later)


Before

during


straight after


Reassembling on the morning after


This was it 2 days after it was painted


Roll on a couple of months and the steels got banded (14x8's for the front and 14x9's for the rear)



Needed to roll the arches quiet heavily to fit them, but it looked ace when it was finished and drove soo nicely



Then it got key'd at a show, the clutch hydraulics failed and I was generally p@ssed off with it so I replaced the clutch slave and master and sold it. Really regret that Oh well

But seeing the pic's of it with my mini is making question of the gloss grey rustoelum I have in stock for its respray in March is the right colour of if I should get another tub of this
