Here is my 2004 2500HD diesel painted it myself using Summit Racing Equipments "Hot Rod Satin Black" single stage Acrylic Urethane paint.
Total cost of materials was $340

Anyone else have any ideas? I am lookin for options like rims and everything tied together to make a flat black street rod or whatever, post pics of stuff you think might look good or how you did your flat black truck, I know I am pulling that chrome strip off cause it is held on by ten screws the po put in there and I don't like it anyways for the theme of this truck.

Here is my truck in progress. The paint is called hot rod flatz, from TCP Global. Just google Hot Rod Flatz and you should find it. It sprays on really well and is cheap. They have other flat colors than just black. I think I will try another color on my next project.

Well, i just did my inner fender well at first i painted flat black but it looked to much like primmer, so i went to satin finish and i think they look alot better. Here is a pic.

How much paint did it take to do the cab and bed (outside panels)?

Is that the same paint zacthrasher used? Very nice!

Square_78 · 10-15-2012, 08:37 PM

Dont do FLAT black. Do "satin" black. Big difference. Flat black will fade, attract greasy hand prints and is harder to keep looking good. Satin black is what you want. Ive heard a lot of good things about the John Deere black. Thats probably what I would use because its used by a lot of high end vehicle restorers for trim and engine bays etc. Flat black also looks way too dull and looks too much like primer. Satin black looks like paint. You would have to see the difference for yourself side by side.

GRX · 10-15-2012, 08:57 PM

x2 on Satin black instead of Flat black. Here is an older pic of my '69 GTO in Plasticote T-2 "hot rod black". Basically flat black. My friends called it the Stealth Goat. Looked good for a couple years but faded unevenly and showed hand prints as stated above.

sfoxwoody · 10-15-2012, 09:07 PM

I have a friend that builds high end 32 Ford Roadsters and he has used implement paint from Tractor Supply, it turned out great and is cheap!

Elchopperfreak · 10-15-2012, 11:17 PM

You can "flatten" or satin any paint, the ones sold as hot rod black and such are simply black with a flattening agent in it, you can purchase the "flattening" agent at any local paint shop, can be pre-mixed with tue paint or laid like clear..
