I'll keep my eye out for that stuff.
I'm probably going to pick up a clean black F23 01 sedan this week for $300, but the hood has a huge dent where a tree branch fell on it. So I'm going to try again painting the hood on my green parts car black if I get it.
Gotta go pick up some 600 and some primer. I've got all the other paper down to 400. I've been using the near-match rattle cans that are available in factory colours at Canadian Tire, but it's $8 for a half-size can of Nighthawk Black Pearl (the colour of both of the black cars), and I'll probably need a good 8-10 cans to get the hood covered properly. I used 2 on the fender and mirror, and wished I had 3. The colour matched almost perfectly on the fender and mirror on Midnight once it was dry.....had me worried as it went on super-blue and metallic, but that went away once it was dry and the match was awesome. Just need to get my rattle can clearcoat skills to improve, and a nice flat hood should be a good place to practice.
I used Ace Hardware gloss black for the first coat, and the colour was blatantly wrong. Anyone know where to get halfway decent factory colours in a rattle can for a more reasonable price?
