Hey guys , right now i am in the process of building up my 91 lx. The problem is that i am putting all of my money into the drivetrain , and she is lacking some looks. My plan was to spray the whole car flat black , and add some clear headlights just because i want her to look a little better on cruising nights , instead of the 6 shades of green that it currently is. I was also thinking about spraying my pony rims flat black to match to go for that " murdered out" look. Does anyone have any pics or comments on how it will look?

my paint looked like crap too, just spend a weekend compounding/waxing with a buffer, makes a world of difference. I have yet to buy one apperance mod besides new stock headlights and the only thing left stock in my car is the brakes and bottom end.

if you decide to do it, go semi-gloss black. looks WAY better, imo. the black 4 eye nonglossjason posted is semi-gloss, not flat.

:Word:

Don't forget there's always Rustoleum...

(Seriously, you can't get much cheaper/easier than a roll-on paintjob. Dunno if they have semi-gloss for Rustoleum or not, though... )
