Hehe, you can barely see Sams car at night the way it is now... i don't think he is too concerned

Anyone know if Mat Black has a clear coat / protective coating of some kind? If not, would it actually last very long?

its apparently just baked on, but ive heard of people doing their whole car in a powdercoat to get the satin finish

hmm... doesn't powdercoating go "chalky" if left out in the elements?

imo black roof on FTOs looks like ass. The C pillar is way too fat.

That orange could look OK with black/bronze rims. Bright colours with chrome rims suck (look way too Sydney/Gold Coast) but can look tough with dark rims. If you want your FTO to stand out, look for inspiration in Japan. Most modified FTOs in Australia go with teh flashy Australian style (fake Veilside kits, skinny chrome rims, flashy paint) so a tough, Japanese style, track-inspired FTO would really stand out here.

A combination of a simple but eye catching colour, aggressive kit, carbon bonnet & wing, and wide, low offset Volk TE37s with stretched tyres would look tough as nails.

New colour... something like this:

Candy apple red... lots of glitter...

I like the red better.... but Im still gaggin' over the 2 tone. Leave the roof the same colour!

agreed

Yeah Agreed. I think the red looks HOT but think it would look even hotter with a red roof, and I'm a fan of 2 tones, though I think the lines of the FTO don't lend well as someone said I think the C pillar is too wide.

i dunno it could look quite nice!
check out some 180sx's for more ideas on how it will look

and also this will be one different paint job to any fto
