flat color for the win! is it more expansive? im guessing no...

 

flat paint wont look right on the evo imo,

 

that sti in flat blue looks killer! i'm curious though, are there any benefits to flat paint over the regular stuff? is it easier to touch up by any chance?

 

I think this is what you're looking for. Here you go:

 

as a race car it looks great. Take the stickers off put the stock wheels back on and park it in a drvieway and I am not feeling it.

 

that blue sti is killer

 

well i ended up doing mine flat black about 2-3 mths ago...didnt come out as bad as i thought...some parts arent as good as others,but it wasnt professionally done...i did it with a rattle can though..only because im getting a professional job with custom color here in about a 1- 1 1/2 mths..so i did it just because.

cleaning wise is really easy...all i do is wet it wash and rinse...dry my wheels off and walk away..

but if you do it right..flat black is the ****...like i said my hood and bumper and some doors look really good.the roof was hard and doesnt look that great.but i just did it for fun b/c i had plans on a custom paint job..

 

if you do it right you take care of it exactly the same as regular paint... the clear is what gives paint the crazy shine... or most of it.. a flat clear protects the paint the same it just doesnt have any shine to it... Ive allways wanted to do a car a very dark, wine red type color in flat.. I think that would look great. That sti is awsome!

 

flat white be kinda pointless, I don't think you'de even be able to tell. Maybe from certain angles, with the right lighting, but otherwise, nope. It seems flat or matte colors have become more popular recently, probly cause of the flat black wheels that have come around. I would never do it, I like the shine, but it's a cool idea if you can pull it off and make it look nice.

 

i was thinking of this like the AMS TA Evo

 

Here are a few more of the TA AMS evo, from when i had my car worked on down there:

 

back from the dead

 

yeah someone dug my thread up...anyways car isnt flat black anymore...in paint booth right now..ill post pics of new paint on tues/wed...

 

I've seen that car in person, it looks pretty good with flat paint

 

There is a member who has a flat black evo. He posted a thread in the show and shine awhile back. It looked bada$$ in my opinion.
