Curious to see how our SN95s look painted in flat black.
I would really like to see one in flat black with 18in rims.
Thanks!

I guess flat black isnt a popular color for our cars.
I still would like to see a pic or two if someone can hook it up.

IDK,
I think it could be done to look good. It would need to be lowerd', with the right rims, and a few specific body parts (if a stock GT). I think a no wing or S281 with a cobra or saleen bumper, side exh, and a 96-98 cobra hood or saleen heat extractor hood would look kinda mean....have a ter-bo setup and some nice breaks all around and....
I too want to see one now....

For my next toy/car project I have always wanted to do a 32 3 window coupe but actually have really fallen for the 37 ford (either would be a glass body and boxed frame IFS front/9in rear setup). I honestly think when I get around to building one it will be flat black (not just flat base coat/or primer but a correct flat black paint job).
I first saw a flat black car that made me think of this from the orig. Blade movie (goofy I know) were they had that flat black dodge...just looked mean and I started looking closer at cars that were done flat black on purpose.
How cool would that look...30's era ford with a 4v 4.6, 4r70, SSBC 4 piston front calipers along with rear disks and some 17-18in modern old school steel wheels or black, anthricite, machined alum. rims...

would take the right completing parts, rims,hood, bumper. Id dont think a stock GT would look good flat black

I don't think the SN-95 body style lends itself to flat black either... Carcraft did a 1st Gen Camaro in an eggshell black with a satin offwhite pinstripe and Anthracite grey TT2's... It looked AMAZING... But it's a different style totally.

I am considering flat black also when I repaint my car down the road. Either the stock Rio Red, Torch Red like the '03-04s, some sort of reddish orange (kind of like Performance Red on the '00 R), or flat black.

My old roommate had a '94 V6 he ran flat black for a while because the factory black paint was faded. The car looked okay cause it looked good without a spoiler and '99 Cobra wheels. But when he finally sprayed black and clear on it, looked even better.
So I guess what I'm saying is that flat black can look alright if the car is styled right. But in general I'd say just leave it to the rat rod guys.

The Benz
I think the Benz is an SLR. Pretty sure...but yeah it looks sweet. For it to work on an SN95, it probably should have some body kit on it to give the profile a longer, lower stance. It would have to look factory, so I would bet on a saleen kit, maybe with side exhaust, rims similar to that in the picture and an S281 wing....but yeah I think you can make it work. Oh it would probably have to be a coupe though. It would also have to have nice brakes/rotors all the way around. Food for thought: Most car's paint job is the most noticeable thing on it...if you make it less noticeable, then you have to upgrade something else to make a good balance. Anything could be done, if done right with thought and planning put into it. It will look like crap if you just buy a few cans of flat black and paint your car and then say Im done. Other than that, I can see this idea done right.
