Classic Ford Capri with matt black paint the 2006 Death Race Capri. Creating a matt black finish is relatively easy but the spray job can be unforgiving as you can’t smooth down rough patches afterwards. But why go with matt black paint at all?
Matt black car paint finishes are making a comeback, as is the rat look.

This website is great… well done… was reading the article about the matt black finish… right now i am restoring and modifying a bit the look of a 2dr classic range rover, and the owner wants it to have a matt look. the problem is every sample i spray tested on the vehicle, the color comes a bit glossy just the same and the owner is not happy cause he wants to hide certain warpings on the sides of the vehicle. I am using an HVLP gun , but still not happy with the ending result.. roamed the www for days but without success… any ideas !!! thanks

Don’t use a gloss car paint, you might find that a thick coat of primer, then sand the primer with a coarser grade of wet and dry and then an application of Matt finish car paint will give the look you are after. Spraying matt on a gloss will usually produce a shinyish matt which is not what you are after. Join http://www.TorqueCars.com forum and ask there – they have some sprayers in their member list and I get quite a few tips and pointers from them.

Great info. I think my matt black isnt coming out ok because of the well polished primer. I will try and lay another coat and paint over it
