[emission]

Well this FD belongs to no one other then Goukis14. Me and a few friends had way too much free time. well since we wont have parts for project SupraAdvan till september 20th. We all got our cans of flat black left over from the supra and just had fun sanding, wet sanding.

I dunno whose car that is, but I know the shop that they're at in the pic.

Very nice, I love flat black. I want to do it to my eight-six, after my 20B of course.

[Ripper]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would have been ok if you had finished the job.

Junk.

Paint at least under the hood and put the interior trim back on the hatch, paint the tail light recesses, do it right.

If you can look at a paintjob and immediately tell what color the car used to be, it ain't much of a paintjob in my book.

I do, however, highly endorse anyone with the foritude to flat-black an FD. Flat black with a layer of clearcoat looks good and holds up better as well.

looks good guys! ive been contemplating doing the flat black on my s14 for a few months now and i think SCC has made it a big trend or something. o well.
what kind of spray paint you guys use? and is spray can clear coat any good??

[FD3S_pilot]

woww!!!! nice.....i never thought of a flat black fd..........i wonder how many cans it took do the car.....

yeah ive been thinkin about doin it on 240 also for a while now just havent gotten around to getting a sander or paint, and time is a big factor, but i guess everyone is doin it now, ill probly still do it but it kinda cheapens it when people see it and think oh well hes just copying that one guy

[Ghost of Duluth]

Mines almost flat black, but that's from neglect and non waxing.

yea, i was a lil disgruntled when i saw it on SCC but ya know what, i know i thought of it before that and everyone who thinks its a bandwagon thing can screw

do what you like man, thats all that matters to me

.... Actually... thats a JDM Tyte Honda Civic AWD...

C'mon... u should know that

[Feint]

When I picked up the latest edition of SCC and say that Sti I thought to myself badass..Then when I saw that FD,I gaspd only to say that takes balls.I love black FD's,they hit the spot with me.Wouldn't mind getting an FD and launching operation Nighthawk aka painiting the car completely black so it blends into the night :P

You guys should paint the stock rims while your at it.You have to go all black

Parry - These pics are of when the vehicle was nearly completed. As of now the interior trim and sway bars now sit in the same exact place after we finished. We took our time in removeing everything and properly sanding those parts before any paint touched it. We also wet sanded the entire car. Thank you for your questions and comments.



I'd like to thank everyone else for thier comments.

Well It took about 20 or more cans to do the job. Well days ago jack was asking if I knew of anyone who was able to paint his car. As a favor I said I would have his car ready for paint and it whould cost him NOTHING! The FD was partly flat black before that issue of SCC ever hit the news stand. All the FD needs now is a few touch ups and paint. But for now jack is having fun with his car. The car looks much better now, its in a much better shape then it was before. Right jack!


The Siliva conversion S13 you see thier belongs to a Team autopilot member. He was nice enough to pose next to his car... I think lol! He's a cool guy to deal with.

Ahhh, I misunderstood. I thought you were done, and I was like "errrr". Good to hear you are doing it right.

Are you going to throw on a coat of clear?

[Ghost of Duluth]

Yea, paint the rims. I did mine in like 20 minutes and that was over a year ago. No need to powedercoat them.

ya, i agree with ghost, black is the only color for fds even if they are melted

i like red FD's and white FC's

[yarzan]

me gusta yellow FD's too.

[Drifterlunchb0x]

Ive had flat black...err primer black LOL ...on my car for over a year and a half now...and i love it. easy to wash LOL if u crash...buff it and spray it again....which has happened alot...i wouldnt have money for mods and tires if i paid what ppl do for paintjobs being fixed on their rides.

looks good guys!

[GoukiS14]

hahaha sorry guys it's been a while since I've logged on... yeah it's gonna get painted a nice glossy black... but right now I've gotten a few comments on it. Some love it some hate it. I think it looks cool. (thanks emission, don't worry we'll go out to Korean BBQ soon) While driving around at night I've found it kinda looks like a black hole driving around. It kinda just absorbs light like there is a hole in space. LOL. Thanks for all the comments... Hey Ghost did decide on what you're doing w/ your 7 yet?
