hmm i'm not sure what that'd look like but i know there is a company now making a satin finish paint. it was on a subaru in superstreet as well as a few other cars i've seen. you'd have to look it up to find out more, i dont know who its made by

 

Here are some pics i took of that Subaru at a car show.

A couple of my buddies have older honda's and I know they do make a "Bumper paint". (i have referred them to that alot.

Also body shop's have a special paint for black flat bumpers.

Something like this

there is actually a clear coat made exactly for that. Normal clear coat will make it shiny. This is of course if you are looking for that flat look, but smooth and easy to take care of. PPG makes some. Also there is a Subaru cover car with this Dupont paint that looks awesome. He posted right before me.

 

cool! I'm gonna try to figure out what that "Ribberized Black" is that I hear people talk about

 

Any auto paint supply store can add flatener to clear to give the semi-gloss or flat-gloss look.

 

yeah thats the one, i love that look. my friend used some of that bumper paint on his trim and it looked real good, i'm getting ready to do my whole car flat black but i was just planning to use regular old primer and just do a bunch of good coats.

 

Primer isnt a good sealer... at least use real paint...

 

Most primers are primer-sealers.

 

I painted a couple model kits a few months ago, and i was messing around with all the different combinations of primer/paint/clear i had. I tried both gloss clear over primer, and flat clear over gloss paint. I dont really remember what each looked exactly like, but ill tell u the effect was similar to that subaru.

 

I just put my zenki lip on and I opted for the duplicolour gloss black, and I don't regret a thing! it looks soooooo sweet. I'll throw up some pics soon! Although I got lazy and didn't sand all the paint down, so I have some pit marks but you can't see it unless your looking for it

 

primer sealer seals moisture, but has no UV protection... so over time it will break down.. and look horrible.
