Reply to "Euro GTS 73 Hood(s) color shema matt vs shiny ?"

I personally think that the shiny/flat balance is JUST RIGHT.

Try it on something small first. Let it cure. It dries to the touch in about 20 minutes and is safe to handle in about an hour but unless you put it in a heat booth, it will take something like 48 hours to really start to get hard.

Something else I noticed with it, it developes a type of texture to the finish that comes from the pressure of the spray gun.

I like it, BUT to get it VERY fine, you need to dilute it down and use less air pressure.

YOU WILL have fun playing with this paint in that regards. You can get different effects with it. When it is fully cured it ALMOST makes the feel of the paint feel like it's some kind of molded plastic.

It would be good for a pick up truck bed OR if you wanted something different on the underside of the floor, this would be nice.

You really need to use a "y2K" primer with it. That uses a hardener also.


I just keep finding new uses for it. I made a cabinet for my bathroom with it over oak.

It lets the wood grain show through and if you spill something on it, you just wipe it off.

Also, mildew does not seem to grow on it like a latex house paint would get.

Hum? Maybe I'll spray the entire outside of the house with it? Comes in various colors. Maybe Pantera Red or Plum Crazy purple? Smiler

This particular paint is absolutely striking up against the Detomaso Pantera Red. It makes the red just jump at you. You need to be ready to duck.

I can't find a bath tub color that I like. I was wondering how the tub would come out if I sprayed it with this stuff? Big Grin


You don't need to wax it, just wash it down with car soap. Car soap won't take off the carnauba wax on the rest of the car. Dish washing detergent WILL since it is designed to remove grease and oil from your dishes.

I saw a Lambo done in the flat paint but it was more grey than black. An Aventador. Saw a Prosche 911 that was definitely flat black but didn't get a pic of it.

Here's a pic of the Lambo. Definitely flat gloss.
