flat black

[motomann883]

getting ready to buy a new truck, im going to take the srt 10 hood off my truck before i trade it in, wanting to paint a flat black strip in the middle of the hood and on the bed side like the old school mopars, hood will have to be re-painted to match new color (inferno red) and then strip painted on. ive heard of useing tinted primer and/or a satin clear coat. need some advice

thanks

fac pac single stage urethane flat black in napa martin senour. Part # 8806.
u'll need hardner, pint #8660 & a qt of reducer # ts3 [med temp].
ratio is 4 parts color, 1 part reducer, 1 part hardner. so, if u kicked the whole qt, u'd have 32 oz color, 8 oz. reducer, & z of hardner = 48 oz ready to spray. That flat black #8806 urethane covers nice also. air @ the gun, 45 lbs. good luck.

I recently shot a test panel with Hot Rod Flatz from TCP Global. I think I paid around $60 for a quart kit shipped to my door.

It's a pre-flattened SS urethane. Nice enough paint, looked great, and wasn't too hard to shoot. In the end, though, the satins just don't have the durability I was looking for.

Now I have to come up with something to do with the quart. I'm thinking maybe flames on my compressor...
