Has anyone flat blacked an entire Viper?

[488civ10]

Just wondering if any Viper has either been painted or wrapped entirely flat black. It would make for a pretty mean machine.

The Ford GT, Carrera GT and R8 all look pretty bad ass wrapped:

I found two pictures of a flat black SRT-10.

A*shole econobox drivers on either end within 1 foot. Thanks.

Wow can't say I think too much of that look at all. Looks too ghetto for me. I would hope nobody would take their expensive car and ruin it like that. Looks like driving around with just primer. Not sure I can get that drunk. JMHO.

I had a friend who was seriously considering doing that to his GTS. I think he was quoted somewhere around $2k for the job. He never did it though. I'd like to see it, I think it could end up looking pretty cool

Don't think I like it at all on the SRT-10.

Fugly IMHO

Hmmm....doesn't do it for me. Doesn't suit the cars lines. Flat black hides all those agressive lines. Kinda de-Vipers it.

 

[xlrashn]

uuuuhhhhh.....yeah......

If you're gonna do that then you're better off buying several can's of grey primer and painting it yourself. At least it will stand out in grey primer.

That look works on the GT and Porsche, but not the Viper. For some reason the Viper just looks slab-sided in flat black.

Looks Like A Large Can Of Paint Shaped Like A Viper.

That doesn't sound too bad considering a good clearbra install can run half that, and here we are talking full car coverage.

Agreed. The angle and reflection of the bright sunny day in those Viper pictures doesn't help. I'm wondering how a GTS would turn out. The R8 was kind of cool too.



Here's a picture I took of a Supra at a local car gathering - I believe this was painted though. Pretty bad ass in person.

yeah that Supra looks bada$$

it would be interesting to see a GTS done this way

Yea, it looks badass all right, and needs to be wiped.

I saw someone on here with flat blacked stripes. THAT looked very cool. (Instead of doing the whole car). I can't find the picture now.

 

[gen2lover]

looks like black primer.Terrible IMO.

Tis mine . Thanks for the compliment. I just got deep dish black center wheels for it.

Hey Deadeye, is that paint or vinyl?

I remember seeing that before, really nice looking car.

Thanks! I wasn't sure about it when I did it so I used vinyl. People ask me that alot even while looking at it in person. The only bad part is that its got a subtle texture so I can't get wax on it. I just use ICE near it and try to stay away while waxing and polishing.

Very cool. A while back I started a thread asking if anyone had done '96 RT/10 style stripes on a non-'96 car. I thought black 96 style stripes would look cool on my yellow '95. And then I remembered your car and thought maybe it would look even better in flat black. If I actually get serious about it I'll have to come to you as the expert

Flat black stripes ... flat black car - ghetto. I recall one of the Italian makes doing a flat black - can't remember who (was in Autoweek about a year ago) - and saying it cost MORE than regular paint to achieve the consistent sheen. Also, if there is a scratch you'd have to repaint because any polishing would make the flat shiny! I'll stick with good 'ole base/clear thanks.

I repainted a Gen I RT/10 model matte black.

That's pretty funny...you got some really big grass where you live.

The flat black stripes on the black Viper look good. Flat black all over just looks terrible. That supra is one of the dumbest looking cars I have ever seen. It needs those shocks that bounce the car up and down too.

 

[TheKevin]

i like flat black but not on newer cars. i think they look better on the old school hot rods. gloss black on a viper is just ****.

deadeye, now your's is an exception. that looks badass.

 

[ShadowLight]

Yeah, flat black isn't doing it for me on a Viper AT ALL.
