b11 is right about the wind, that shit is a huge pain in the ass! lol so you painted it with some "black with metal flake?" got any pics? sounds nice but id stay away from rustolium with such a large project it just takes soooooo long to dry it isnt funny and with a big car if the paint stays tacky for over an hour you run the risk of getting bugs and dusk and other junk stuck in the paint

..who wants a nat on their hood? lol

It's not terribly slow to dry, I know what you mean though. I painted some stuff gloss black and that formula of rustoleum is slow to dry. After wet sanding it's very forgiving. The interesting thing is how the paint looks with layers after it's sanded a few times, like carbon fiber with almost wood grain.

the color is pretty cool. Takes forever...

sounds bad ass b11! not trying to be difficult but that pic wasn't to good to see the "wood grain" your talkin about can you maybe get a better angle/lighted pic? ps how was workin with paint with glitter in it? lol that shit gets every where! i only painted 4 14in. wheels silver with flake in it i cant even begin to imagine an entire car! you must have looked like a damn fairy for weeks! lol

It's not very noticeable in person, I had to pick this angle.

The surface is smooth, it's an effect of having many overlapping layers together.

this paint isn't nearly as hard to work with as the metallic silver paint. It doesn't make that much sparkly overspray.

did you know rustoleum makes 'automotive spray paint'?
this is their paint chip for the color...

called: Black Night Metallic

hmmmmm i can kinda see it but the flake isnt really comin through its really one of those "need to see in person" type deals im sure its rad, cameras just suck a capturing minute details like that

. what was the name of the paint? ill look into it, im always tryin out new types of paint. but it sounds like a nice shade for a set of wheels.

edit: hehe you just edited your post. i had no idea they make automotive paint. and glad to hear theres no glitter over spray lol i like it allready

..i had glitter in my sheets for weeks even after i washed them! but im gona try it just based on the name sounds hot
