[The Beast]

I think it looks different. i would trade him the Hawk. Theb I can hang and roll with you guys. I just have one question does it really cost that much for that motor? "the engine ALONE will cost $25,000 to duplicate from Lawless." ??????????

Flat paints are the fail.

 

[Mike1284]

been followin this guy on svtp, i LOVE this car. that paint job is money. the guy is loaded, has insane money in alot of cars. i want to see finished pics!

I think it's ugly. I wonder what kind of paint was used. It's very easy and VERY cheap to paint a car flat black, you could just use a very cheap primer to do it. If a cheap flat primer was used or a cheap laquer flat paint was used, it could easily discolor, stain from acid rain or bird crap or most fluids VERY easily. If a good high quality urathane paint was used there should be no problems. Flat is also a very easy way to hide poor body work and imperfections.

He probably paid 25k since they had to do all the r&d and hand fab work on his parts. Now that there is a template, you could probably have one built for considerably less.

He says it was painted flat black, not matte black. There is a difference and like cobrasnake said, if he just used regular flat black paint it'll be fucked in a few months of driving.

 

[SONICobra]

awesome... definately not for everybody i guess but i think its sick

 

[Ear Rak]

if he would have left the head and tail lights alone, it might look good. But now it just looks like the painter got spray happy in the paintbooth.

yeah i have mixxed feelings about that, id have to see it in person to make a final decision on that. i probably would have done a glossy smoke to break it up a little bit. if he painted the car right, disassembled everything (he said he painted the jambs so maybe) and used a matte (or flat) clear coat the paint should be durable. i still think the upkeep on it would be a chore, probably hard to keep clean and you have to be extra careful of scratches and rock chips

 

[Ear Rak]

actually its really not that bad. I have that paint on the trunk between my tail lights.

Any dirt hoses right off and it washes like a normal glossy clear coat. Only thing to worry about is that you cannot wax it too often or you'll basically hand buff it to a shiny finish.

I always put a coat of wax on once in while to protect from fading.
