Flat Black = Sexy

[secongendsm]

I’m in love with flat black. If flat black asked me to marry it, I just might.

After the “Oh yeah, shift perfect!” tranny comes a little bit of good news. Luckily, the 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse parts car I bought had an almost perfect tranny in it. We tore it down over the weekend and had a peek inside. Looked really good. After getting it back together, it was painted . . . . flat black.

Also did some painting on the valve cover. I sanded the paint off the letters, but don’t have that picture with me. I’m torn between leaving the letters sanded or painting them red.

I dropped off some stock five star Eclipse rims to Stanley Distribution on Saturday for powder coating. I’m having them done flat black with a red ring just around the outside. I also took them my turbine housing for a 2000 degree ceramic coating along with my Turbonetics T3 exhaust manifold. I’ll be posting pictures of those when I get them back.

I to agree that flat black is totally sexy. I could never do it, because I need the light color to tell my how bad my fluid leaks are .

Flat black is the miracle paint. Im a fan of primer in general. As far as the valve cover. Go with the red paint on the lettering on the valve cover to match the red stripe on the rims. post the new pics. It should look sick.
