I'm not a fan of black, especially not flat black, but that thing looks AWESOME! It the U.S. that would be referred to as being "Murdered Out".
That looks like a very expensive paint job. Do you mind divulging how much that set you back. I'll never do it... Voodoo Blue with white roof till I die!
Looks great thought. It really does. Rob Dyrdek and Big Black would be proud of you. That puts his murdered out suburban, or whatever POS he drives, to shame. Send a pic to his website and I bet he'll be flying in the painter from Spain for the rest of his fleet.
WELL...YES IT S QUIET EXPENSIVE...6 000 € WHICH IS ABOUT 10 000 $...AND THERE IS A REASON FOR THIS...FAT FINISH DOES NOT LEAVE SPACE FOR ERRORS OR DUST... WHY? BECAUSE YOU CANNOT CUT AND POLISH YOUR ERRORS...WHY? POLISH FAT AND IT BECOMES SHINNY.
SO BASICALLY TO DO THIS PERFECT JOB THE CAR WAS TOTALY PUT NAKED...AND GOT PAINTED WITH ONE LAYER OF BLACK AND THREE LAYERS OF FAT VARNISH.
THE BEST PART IS THAT IT DIDN T COST ME A PENNY. I USED MY INSURANCE TO PAY FOR MY PAINT DAMAGE WHICH COVERED 3 500 € ... THE DIFFERENCE WAS OFFERED BY THE PAINTER BECAUSE OF OUR FRIENDSHIP AND THE PUBLICITY THE CAR IS GIVING HIM.
ONE IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW IS THAT THE FAT VARNISH IS VERY VERY STRONG AND RESISTANT...THE ONE WE USED AT LEAST...LIKE A ROCK.

One Other Thing...you Can Notice That 100% Has Been Painted...including All The Plastics...and That S A Hell Of A Job To Do It And Get A Resistant Result...it Inplies Lots Of Different Treatment....and All The Lights Have Recieved 2 Layers Of Glossy Varnish To Glow Out Of The Fat Black

Looks good; I hope it is not too hot in Spain.
NOW IT' S VERY HOT ...BUT AC IS GREAT ON THIS BEAST...WHITE ROOF DOESN T MAKE MUCH OF A CHANGE WITH THIS KIND OF AC. WE ARE AT THE CLOSEST POINT TO AFRICA...10 MILES ACROSS THE OCEAN...YOU CAN SEE MARROCO WITH BARE EYES.

SORRY ...ONE LITTLE MISTAKE : 6000€ = 8400$US ...not 10K
I was thinking there is no way you could make it look that good for less than 5K. If it looks as good in person, I'd say $8,400.00 is a good deal for such nice work and attention to detail.

Murdered out look, like it ALOT!
