I was thinking of painting my 70 chevelle a low gloss black or flat, just something to get me throuh this summer,i don't want to go broke on the paint job at this time, any pics. or is this just a bad ideal???? i want to sped more money on speed parts and not looks is this going to far graemlins/clonk.gif

i'm considering doing the same with my '73.i'm torn between the "stealth look" and going with a high-gloss tuxedo black.i kinda like the sinister look of the flat black(and its ability to hide slightly-less-than-perfect bodywork) but the look of a killer shine and straight sheet metal is hard to beat!decisions...decisions. graemlins/clonk.gif

i wanted to paint mine flat black, but the wife does not like the idea, but in the end it will be flat black when it gets painted.

Local bracket guy runs a flat black 67, chopped, with a flame job. I think it's really cool. You might be able to find a pic in these archieves.

Probably get away with DP Epoxy - Black. What they call a "Rat Rod".

I was thinking of doing flat black with flat(or maybe glossy) red stripes. I haven't seen many muscle cars with the "suede" look, mostly on rods.

Spray can black primer for me right now until I get some body work. I don't know what color I want either.

best stuff i found so far is called tuffcoat by dupont spray it right out of the can .holds up longer than any other primers ive seen yet.

Might have to cut paste this into your browser.. MSN doesnt like hotlinking much..

Only photos of my 68SS I can find now. Had just finished rattle canning the car. Had to look good for prom that day! tongue.gif This is either 87 or 88.. forget which now.

My 66 was in primer almost the entire timed I owned it.IF I knew how to add a picture I would.It looked pretty tuff untill you tried to get the finger prints off of it.

my 71 is primed white.. I know it sounds bitchy but it looks awesome.. just wish I had some pics to show you guys

I painted mine primer grey using 2K UTECH primer and painted most of my trim rustolum black because it needed replacing anyway

It will stay this way for awhile because I need to find new doors and front fenders before final paint
