matt black? yes or no?

my son wants to paint his 110 matt black...anyone else painted theirs this colour? which paint is best to use, and any one got pics or theirs to post so i can get an idea of how its going to look...i like the nice lawnmower green its painted now, i did suggest a nice purple would look good but he didn't seem to agree with me....strange boy

good god no dont do it a friend of mine done his once with nato paint and it was the worst most hideous looking thing on the road

my 90 is satin black, it looks stealth. people keep telling me how good it looks. i painted mine with halfords spray satin black about 7 or 8 can if you do it in a oner. i see about some photos but you cant see the black for the mud at the mo as of an awesome days offroading at avon dasset yesterday.

Brush paint or spray can either way it will look like a bag of ****e

army surplus blacks what ya need. same as nato etc, but black. guy down the road has it. looks cool

It will look bad, got for satin black if he wants that look, it's a compromise between gloss and matt.

I was thinking of doing mine that colour.
Think I will keep it original colour...or red...or yellow...no white....hmmm..matt black..no camo....er original colour yes that's best

so far popular opinion seems to be noooooo... no body has posted any pics yet so i can show him what it will look like.. dont think he should paint it gloss black it will show all the dints up even more... only panel on it without some sort of mark on it seems to be the roof....

Looks awesome in black, was that satin? i can see a visit to halfords looming too buy all of their satin black!!!

Have a look at my profile pic LOL

Matt is good if you like repainting, it will fade in the sun.

On a plus side its easy to cover up a scratch if your that way inclined LOL

People have suggested satin so that could be the next move....

Well this is a matt black 90, personally I'm not to keen.

Why do you have to paint it? Can't he do it himself?
