Alright I have a friend who owns a paint shop....he said I can go in there and use the booth on a SAturday. So in two weeks or so I am going to flat black the JK. Basically since it is already black I am going to scuff the clear with scotch brite and then apply the flat clear. Here is what I am wondering should I spray the hood Burnt orange with the flat clear or maybe a Hemi orange. No nowing this would add a couple of hours to the job do you think the orange would look right, or should I just flatten the black and let it go...looking for your opinions...let me know.

 

youre not gonna hit it with a flat black after you scuff it then clear coat it? idk how it would look with just a scuffed black with a flat clear coat.....i would do flat desert tan

 

the stock paint is flat before you put glossy clear, so when you scuff the glossy clear then put a flat clear on it becomes flat black and yes x2 on the flat desert that is what my wife told me. But i aint looking to repray the whole vehicle a different color, thats a lot of work and probably take more than a SAturday...lol, But thanks for the input.

 

OOOOHHHHH better idea what if I did racing stripes on the hood in flat hemi orange on flat black paint? that might look pretty good...ya think? C'mon anybody got any ideas?

 

Racing stripes??? You kiddin right?

 

ah very cool i did not know that. Go with the flat black then

DO IT

 

Hmmm, I don't think racing stripes would look right.

 

I like the solid flat black if not black, my absolute first choice would be flat OD Green!!!

 

I would love to do my jeep all Satin

I did this with another car and had a miserable time with paint chipping. Hope it works better for you. I LOVE the look.

 

Have fun taking those door handles off... Might wanna just mask them instead...
