    i like anthracite, but you need to make sure you either get charcoal anthracite, or black anthracite, or it will turn out like mine, which is far too light for me.
    
    but im going for matt black for my black vts now, cant really find a paint code where the grey is dark enough... so i suppose im saying either black or anth

    i have been told by everyone matt will chip, but i am thinking of getting matt black then laquering them, it will give a better finish than gloss black laquered, and il always keep them well waxed

    yeah paint unlaquered will chip mate
    
    people who spray car in the matt effect paint use the laquer very lightly

    mine are matt black. it will be the lacquer that helps them from chipping. evidently they will end up chipping though, best off doing them powder coated to be honest.
27. pat_man_vts Regular Poster Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 315

    #27 29th May 2007, 22:21

    they will be powdercoated matt black
    
    after coating, they get laqured normaly dont they?
    
    would be a pain to keep getting them re done, and too much laquer would ruin the matt look im guessing, will see what they say tho, was thinking of getting them coated so this should help, so may just ask for more laquer than normal, will lose the proper matt look, but wont be gloss
    
    (and sorry for the hijack dude )

    if they are powder coated theyll be fine. alot stronger, and as for lacquering depends on the finish as the paint is burnt on

    #29 29th May 2007, 22:28

    i think il take them to the coating place and let them do what they think is best in terms of laquer
    
    cheers mate

    powder coating is more of a plastic coating, its sprayed on in powder form then baked to go hard, good stuff but expect to pay a bit more for it
