Is a flat black paint job possible?

Like the title says, Ive never seen one, but my dad always talks about how he used to paint the hoods on his old muscle cars flat black so that it wouldnt glare in your eyes when the sun was out. Ive never seen a whole car done it it, but i wish mine was. it doesnt reflect light, so you know that muddah would be stealty.

you have to remember that the cars back then were very boxy and square so light might have reflected.. i think a car would kind of look ghetto in flat colors, there are some exceptions to that... i dont think one of our cars would look good, but im am curious in how it would turn out...

Check out SCC's project S13 for an idea of what a flat black car looks like. It looks pretty damn awesome on a good racecar.

there is a type of paint that you can use that will look nice. it's the paint the military uses my neighbors friend has a paint job like it on his truck i think it's called military jet black.

heeeeeeeey, military jet paint......I like the idea of that. Plus all that military stuff is always on the market as surplus. The more and more I think about it, the more I want to start sanding my ride down. But the only flat black paint I have ever seen was in a spray can in the model paint section. Im gonna start lookin for that military stuff, when I get a new car, that'll be the color.
