   Hi.
   
   Cant seem the find anything...
   
   I remember a while back seeing a matt black saxo on here... cant find the picture now.
   
   I also read that its done by a film or something...
   
   Any ideas? Just looking into it for the future

   yer, if your doing the whole lot, and in a matt black you cant go wrong, just dont get bits of dust and grit in it and it will be all good
   
   EDIT: imo matt black doesnt look good though, but prove me wrong

    Big fan off Matt Black
    
    Personally i'd have a go at doing it myself.
    Be a heck of a lot cheaper and mistakes are pretty limited.

    You can do it yourself with rattle cans but it will look patchy in some angels and under certain lights at night.
    
    There is a guy on gti forum with mk3 golf that did it.

    Thats me!
    Mines painted professionally in satin black, if you go for matt black the colour starts to go grey but mine is still black as anything!
    It wasn't cheap to do mind.
    
    Here's a link to my progress thread so you can see it if you like?
