flat / matte black mono

[RC944]

anyone have any examples of cars with a shell painted in flat black only for a stealth look?

im thinking of spraying gloss black from the inside and then applying a few coats of flat from the outside to take the shine off

will it look tacky? car is an xx4 WE with black wheels and white wheels

Not the clearest of pics but here is one I did. Black is matt and the rest is gloss.
Yes, apply a matt clear on the outside.

How resilient to scuffing is the matt clear on the outside Jon?

haha..cheerz buddy n yes, get them boots back in action.
i almost bought an mv but thought i would go for a more reliable (n alot cheaper to serive!) honda
but dayumm that f4 was lookin good n very tempting!

cheerz steve - did it for chris at cpd racing - he said it help up remarkably well when i spoke to him but he will have to chime in for the longevitability of it

Tamiya sell a matt clear spray specifically for lexan, they made it for their Porsche GT3 VIP Cup body

cheers all.... so made some progress

gloss black inside flat clear outside but silly me forgot to cut around the protective vinyl wrap so now my windows are matt too...

just got to do some tidying as have overspray over windows from using the sticky vinyl rather than LM and will then put decals on

will post pics when all done but wont look as nice as that porsche!
