[1616six]

Looks terrible, never seen the blue estate with paisley style headliner? Now that's an estate.

[Dum-Dum]

Looks gash, would like an estate but 1 car is enough trouble.

[Eeyore]

seen this the other day. Wheels are awful. Matt black on cheap cars is just the last step to the scrap yard imo!

[Tom]

Thats one of the better finishes of matt black i've seen.

^^^^^^^ This is true ^^^^^^^ usaly old battered high milers that some one has tryd to tart up on the cheap

its also on its 3rd engine hate to think what the milage on the shell is lol

[cwspellowe]

TBH i was going to matt black the meatwagon one day, but matt black only works on the sublime and the ridiculous. A bog standard estate in matt black just looks, well.. poor.

[Eeyore]

if its the best estate youve ever seen then you need youre eyes testing!

Tbh, with your car it would actually look half decent

[Poodle]

That does look pretty cheap and nasty, looks like it's been looked after though. Hahaha, tenner says i know why the previous engine died, "rover ron tuning box", oh dear.

[londondan86]

There's still blue in the doors. Fail imo.

[Niall]

Looks rubbish. I went through a stage of really liking matt coloured cars but after seeing more and more around here, im starting to go off of them now! Even factory done ones look bad. Saw a brand new Q7 the other day in matt black and it looked even worse than a standard Q7!

[londondan86]

It's looking after matte paintwork as well, you can't just wash and polish it like normal.

Having said that, the car above could well just be vinyl wrapped, a lot cheaper than a respray

Not sure how true this is but i heard that BMW tell their customers than any bird shit should be washed off in 24 hours or it will noticeably eat at the paint finish. And because of this, they sell a pack of panel wipes for £ra*e.99

[Rippthrough]

Bird shit eats/etches most paints, it's fecking nasty stuff.

[Toms306]

Bird shit eats any paint though. It ruined the front wing on my Golf, literally ate into the laquer! It was a huge lumpy shit though, and had been there a while when I was changing the turbo...

Also car makers usually give away a pack of the shit wipes, Mum got a pack with her Skoda and the Swift!

[Niall]

correct but not in 24 hours! I had a massive patch on the roof of the 1.8 where shit had been left on there for ages. Not sure if its the same with wraps but i would of thought so. Assume its the lack of lacquer not protecting the paint.

[kentiiboii]

Right seeing as hes from nottingham and hes matt blacked it. Im.guessing its seriously last resort or its had a accident. Theres a shop in alfreton local to me that sell spray cans for £2-3 matt black being £2. Also in the pictures you can see the picture of the interoir is before it was painted so it was china.
If you get a good finish on matt it does look nice. Best way to keep them clean is beeswax. Other wise rain sticks to them and drys really dirty.

If you search matt black and green astra on google youll find my old car. Paint job was brilliant to say I did it with cans on my drive. Just made big mistake with red calipers

Depends on what the bird has been eating, I've an etch mark on the bonnet from bird shit that was only on there a few hours.

[Stephen]

Blood will also strip paint so I've been told

[ozonehostile]

bird crap makes matt paint go shiney lol. on new bmw's if you dont clean it off it leaves shiney bits on your nice expensive paint job

[Andy]

I like trains.

[C.A.R.]

Matt paint = shit. That estate? god-awful.
