Metallic or normal paint?
Posted: Sat Jan 03, 2015 1:11 pm
I'm planning for respray, and have a few paint decisions to make.
I know it has to be black but should I go for flat black or metallic? What are the pros and cons of each? I've heard that with metallic paint if it gets scratched then its a lot harder to fix. Can the paint still be blended in or does a whole panel have to be painted which could be expensive if the rear quarter gets scratched?
And what colour black is good? I don't really care about it being the original pontiac black, I'd rather have a bit more of a common one. So what's a good one as there's probably a million different blacks?
