Ive seen a 350Z painted flat black w/ the BASF paint and flat clear. It looks super clean. Wonder what kind paint maintenance is required if you did paint it w/ flat clear?

All he does is wash it...normally...no wax...it has a flate base coat(blue) and then BASF has their flate clear coat...he tell's me the more you clean it the better it looks...not much is different

That looks cool but I dont have the ***** to paint my car flat anything. Maybe if it was 240 or Civic hatch or something.

I think the black looks better than the blue. Flat black gives it the stealth bomber look.

Yea the Flat BLK and BLU both look Great, but I'd have to get a definate verification on Quality, and up-keep before I got it on my car

there's a diff between "flat" and "matte"

I've been kicking around the idea of going widebody and reshooting my GG car matte black.. but someone I know has already done that to his car (not an evo though) so it would be kind of lame to bite off his idea.. but it looks SO sick, I mean it looks incredible.

I actually thought about painting my car flat white. Flat paint is easier to take care of. All you do is wash and your done. No waxing needed. It also resists rock chips better.

You can use any kind of paint. Its the clear that gives it the flat finish
