July 24, 200816 yr Author and the couler is goin straight black instead of ash black and im putting loads of metal flakes in the paint work so when it is sunny it should look good
July 24, 200816 yr it'll give it a cheap look if your going flat black do falt black, if you went for a pearl or metallic that'd be nice but i haven't seen a single car with flakes that didn't look a bit 90s max power
July 24, 200816 yr Author well that was my worry mate that it will look chavy so one way around it was to instead of actually using the flakes ive just got 1/2 lite corse silver and gonna add abit of that to the paint work to give it a silvery look when the sun dirrectly hits it it should look ok if not then back to the drawing board after ford fair and spray it black again lol
