Absolutely. Actually it will probably end up more like a satin black than a flat black so it looks like paint as opposed to primer.

Flat black paint with a little bit of Satin in it so it looks like a paint and not a primer.

Wheels and exhaust (yes exhaust) powdercoated gloss black.

Calipers and harnesses stay bright red.

Everything else remains the same.

ooohhh.. its gonna get real hot in the summer

Thats a myth Nils. Don't you watch MythBusters? Geez...

Seriously though, they tested that theory and concluded that black cars don't get any hotter than other colored cars. But you know as good as I do, that it doesn't matter what color your car is, its always too hot in Vegas during the summer.

No, there are too may project cars coming out this season in this color. I would recommend doing something more different. Plus if you dont have a GOOD painter it will turn out like a$$. I have seen at least 5-10 different flat-black cars that turned out wrong.

That doesn't bother me. I don't mind being one of 6 or 7 flat black cars.

You and I think so alike it's fucking scary. When your NT03's were white, I used to use those pics to mess with photoshop, the best of which it was giving it orange wheels. Sure enough, like 3 months later, you've got orange wheels.
