You could try Satin Black. Almost between Matt and Smooth. I did my scooby bonnet in this stuff and looked great, especially after a little back to black lol.

As above, alot easier to clean. Just pulled up a pic of my scoobs. I did the bonnet, part of the front bumper, my wheels and the top half of the 2 piece rear spoiler and it looked sweet.:-

Do not do it matt black.

My mate does spray painting and a lot of people think matt black will look awesome, but it really doesn't unless the car is super clean. But keeping it super clean is very hard and its a pain in the ***. UK might be different, but its so easy to pick up dirty and dust from anywhere.

Matt Black Vs Gloss Black

Compare The Pair !!! ;)


It's like Clothing Fashion these days!

Defective, Poor Fitting and Lack of Colour Co-Ordination, doesn't matter anymore!

The Choice now depends on 'The Look' that You like! :snooty:


Scruffy or Clean Cut???

I think that Calibra's would look bad in Matt black because they are old..

However, a wrap would be a cool and cheap way to test it out!! I know a guy that said he can do this as he does vinyl graphics etc.

any idea of a price for a wrap, I here they are pretty much the future... rather then spray jobs...

I like the rough look, almost madmax theme...

To be fair the semi-mat black does suit the calibra. Gives it an evil look! but, I don't know if I could do it to my car tho, I like the natural colours, they're more classy...
