Sparkle Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 satin is like matt with a clear coat. Im a big fan. Satin with a rising sun on bonnet wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Satin IS Matte. Satin with a Clear Coat is Gloss or Semi-Gloss. Do your bonnett in matte black with a clear coat sun on it. subtle to counteract the completely not subtle. Or just do it like your sig file, white or cream with that red angled stripe on it. OR 70's race colour layout. Whatever you end up doing, it'll be awesome. The car has come up magic so far, I'm glad you stuck with those wheels, they've come up brilliantly.

CaMpylobacter Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 matte is more like a primer in it's texture satin has a slight sheen to it. matte doesn't why would alot of paint suppliers sell both a satin, and a matte if they're exactly the same old boy?

kyteler Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 It's called making money. The only time matt should be like primer in it's texture is if you've been to lazy to sand back the primer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 I've spoken to a few people apprently not in the know, and they all say Satin and Matte are different. Looking at them, I certainly would think they are different finishes. Anyway, enough of the spammage of an awesome cars thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, enough of the spammage of an awesome cars thread True enough, I was just going to wait for avenger79 to come in and pwn me, but as you say.. onwards and upwards.

lofreq Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 from my understanding, matt = flat black, almost greyish colour, pourous surface, no sheen at all, fades to grey after a while, like the appearance of a used chalk board satin = poor mans black, a semi sheen black that should mostly stay black, but without a thick gloss over it, sprayed lightly gives a rough finish, sprayed heavily results in a nice sheen/gloss, but too easy to under-do it in places and end up with patches of rough and patches of sheen gloss = deep black with proper clear coat over the top. ideally what i want is flat black (non metallic) base, and lots of clear, so it looks rich and heavy as. problem is of course black shows up every irregularity due to the reflectivity. so yeah end of day if i got that right then i guess satin will be way to go. aerosol cans or rent a compressor?

lofreq Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 or just appliance white. or primer white with red band. red rising sun across hood or side of car may be too much. maybe just do it like the sig. gah i dunno. i'll think about it while sorting out the susp etc keep quarrelling about the paint types its very amusing and also educational sometimes!

Sparkle Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 needs rising sun. Its not a subtle car, dont do a subtle paintjob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I think a stark white with the stripes. Rising sun on the roof maybe Don't go too overboard though, might detract from the awesome rims, which really are the spectacle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
