Will be finishing the wheels and reinstalling the blacked out taillights/modified headlights..If any of you are thinking of going a flat black but scared,I say GO for it,but go satin..its a beautiful thing..

And I couldn't help but draw inspiration from the red calipers,black and red always goes well together,classic

Tires touched the road for the first time today since I started this overhaul...Sun shines great off this Satin paint..Still have to work the remaining 2 rear wheels tonight and sometime get the bumper pads painted..

I love that Satin Black paint on the car! IMHO just not getting the red accents though, and all the blacked out lights. I think the clear side and tails would give the paint that much more contrast and really make that paint look amazing! But I give you a lot of credit, for undertaking such a project! Thanks for sharing.

Actually,Further down the road I am gonna pickup some all red 'led' tails,and the sidemarkers are clears,they're just old and ****************ty,lol..and the tails were the 97's with that ugly orange on them,I hate them...lol..So I have to agree with you on the tails.All the smoked out lights are to be replaced down the road shortly,along with the rims/tires...headlights will be replaced when I do the fender coversion,and upgrade to litronics ..and half the damn entire car being scrapped!!

...And honestly,I get spray happy when I have paint left over in the gun...Hell,I Sprayed the rest on the Front door of our house!!Now we have a Satin black entry door... ;D...Anyhow thx for checkin it out,appreciate the feedback
