heartbroken
 

i went to a body shop in gatineau today and saw the most gut wrenching episode of my life. a beautiful silver 2012 5.0 convertible getting painted flat black. it had 81km on the odometer, and not a scratch anywhere. I think i was in too much shock cause i forgot to snap some pictures. thats not so bad you say, well they were doing it with spray cans. :?:banghead:

What a waste of a Mustang.

OMG from Silver to Flat Black....:suicide:

I just don't get it either,must be my age.

Reminds me of this, anything to stand out I guess.

Some people's kids eh and nice post Lorne:lol

WTF spray cans. If it was a proffesionally done matte black I'd have no issue with it but to spray bomb over factory paint is a sin.

Maybe they where painting it with that plasti dip stuff.Especially if they are using a spray bomb. A few guys south of the boarder have done this. If they don't like it, the plasti dip stripes off unlike paint.

If not, poor car!!!

Good call, one can hope I guess. I'm not sure I'd really want to plastidip my new car but it would protect the paint I guess.

Regardless of what is in the can, I say poor car anyway! Spray bombing a new car?????..:banghead:

would still be a ton of work to peel it off if a person did not like the result

A spray can!!! Ohhh man, lets hope it's plasti-dip. Matte black is not an easy color to get right.

im going back today. i will try to snap some pics.

hope it's still there

luckily the car was still there and i got some pics with my blackberry. just look at the crap job on the hood. Oh and by the way it took 7 cans of dupont satin black.

Huh, looks pretty good. ;)

It looks different in person. You can see through the black to the silver on every panel. It didn't cover properly. You can see it on the hood (drivers side)

what a waste

In the pics it actually doesn't look too bad. I still wouldn't go that route on a brand new car though. What a dumb move if you ask me.

Just not feeling the whole flat black, Murdered out look, even black wheel *Yawn ...
Give me Shine and Chrome any day! Maybe I'm getting old :bleh:

I'm the opposite. I hate chrome and I love matte colors, just not when they are done this way.

No more annoying glare off the hood.

great call.

I love the matte look (clearly) - just not out of a spray can ... and on a brand new car. :banghead:

Yeah, pictures do hide the true story of the imperfections of an object as it really doesn't look too bad looking at those pics, but in person i could imagine!!:bleh:

the horror of it all lol

^^Couldn't agree more!

I just don't get it ! Why would anyone paint a car like that ?!?
Is it some quicky paint job for a scene in a movie or something ?

I don't think the movie producers would cut corners like that unless it's a B or worse movie lol

and they dont make movies in aylmer quebec. if they did it would be lower than a B movie thats for sure.

that's true lol
