that will look cool. just keep in mind that the matte black get really dirty real quick. we did a 70 mach 1 mustang and when we painted the shaker hood it was really easy to finger print it up and make it look like poo i would look into doing regular black base/clear and have them put flattening agent in the clear. it "fogs it up" if you will. will probably hold up better hide things better.

Since you mentioned its for a race car, I would seriously consider the 50.00 paint job using Rustoleum and wet sanding afterwords. Which will give you the desired look that you're looking for and not breaking the wallet. GL

Paint is up even more due to oil going up, I got a quote for repainting my car in the factory black, and not touching the door jambs, under the hood, etc. It was going to be around $1,500 to $2,100 for a quality job last summer, I'm sure cost will be up . I would say to pick up an issue of Car Craft with a DIY paint section, they often feature something like this, and do it yourself since it's just a matte finish on a race car (something that will get scratched/dinged/etc). I would imagine a decent matte paint job, without color changing the door jambs/etc will be around 1k.

now back to my dumb idea of using plasti dip...

i used it on my beater truck which was horribly faded and it actually came out really good. the hood/roof/tailgate could be alot better but i was lazy and rushing when doing those. it cost me 60 bucks to do it and this stuff works 10000x easier then any spray paint. ive had it on for 6+ months now and even had someone hit me. the black peeled off so i knocked out the ding and literally sprayed over it and cant tell the difference. (this picture was taken after someone backed into my driverside door and i fixed/sprayed it)



**** is like liquid duct tape.
