2kgt281 Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 How long untill this fad goes the way of the dodo bird and spinners? At first, with the spoiler, I thought it was a GT with some 500 parts, but, unfortunately, its a real 500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vipereatr Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Look at it this way - if that is the anti-radar paint they use on the stealth birds it is only about a $50,000 paint job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL SHELBY Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 I actually like the flat clear, but it must be accented. In this case the wheels are too much. What some people don't realize is that spraying a flat clear is not easy. The clear must be sprayed perfectly. There is no wet sanding and buffing out imperfections.

JonathanE Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 I'm thinking gloss stripes would have made it work together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahorse Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Yea definitely needs some accenting - I like the gloss stride idea too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGT/SC#0471 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 I never knew it went out of style...to me it means I like to go fast not polish a showcar...15 cans Krylon....done. A friend of mine did it to a brand new ZO6 about 8 years ago...resale was not a concern for him. Probably left the car at someones house and spaced it.

Salar Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 How long untill this fad goes the way of the dodo bird and spinners? At first, with the spoiler, I thought it was a GT with some 500 parts, but, unfortunately, its a real 500. Those mirrors have to go, and the spoiler. The paint is like F117, doesn't reflect light as much as other paints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasShelby Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Personally, a semi-flat black/clear on a chopped and channeled '49 Merc is awesome. Unfortunately, that's about where it ends for me. Perhaps the owner checked the wrong box when ordering his GT500, instead of stripe delete, he got paint delete?

2010KonaBlueGT Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 That's just plain fugly. Harley started doing this with their new bikes a couple of years back and believe it or not, there are SUCKERS that pay *more* for their "denim paint job" than for a nice gloss paint job ("it's a 'feature', folks").

GT500Tow Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 I never have liked blacked out cars. Seen some flat paint jobs that looked awesome. Just depends on the car or truck. Also what other materials and colors are used. This GT500 looks like crap to me. Takes all kinds of people to make the world go around. So if he likes it. That's all that counts. I for sure wouldn't go out of my way to have a look at it at a car show. I'd just walk right on by and grin a little.... On the other hand. Ive seen cars at shows with so much chrome they looked like crap. So to me, any car with to much of one color. As in black or chrome looks like crap. I like a good combination of colors and materials. Thats what makes a car really stand out. This is JMO tho...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbsFaris Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 hmm, well I love the bullrun car... I like the flat black myself, if it had gloss stripes anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasShelby Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 I used to love the mono-chromatic look until the ricers ran it into the ground. There is a fine line somewhere when it becomes too much. I think that is why Shelby appeals to me. It's much more bite than bark. It's an understated look that undenyabley means performance.

mwy1205 Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 I have a 2008 GT500 Convertible - Vapor and about to have black racing strips on it.. Installer recommends Flat Black stripes.!! Stripes on side of the car look like they are gloss. Any suggestion as to whether to put Flat Black stripes or Gloss? Installer is almost insistent that the Flat will look better on the Vapor.
