what type of flat black is this?
« on: November 18, 2016, 11:18:06 am »
ive been looking into flat blacks, possibly will paint some of my truck flat black. Im interested in this specific flat black ive seen at car shows before which is a flat black darker than the standard flat black and it almost looks fuzzy/powedery.

ive been looking online for a while best I can find is this stupid suede vinyl job... sorry to make you look at this ugly car but heres a picture

Looks like what I've seen called "barbecue black" usually available in rattle cans at big-box stores.

this color seems common when i look up "high heat" flat paint. must be something different about the high heat paint.

thanks for the help.

That car shown is a Maserati in a black suede wrap. It is very hard to get a true flat black. Eastwood has a flat black that looks like it works well. The problem with high heat paints are they tend to not be very UV resistant.
