SEM Hot Rod Black
 

My car is sanded down and about to be primered and painted by the end of this week. Hopefully! Got a couple more things to do to it. Just trying to take my time so I don't do something ill regret. But I wanted to ask you guys what you would think an Alero would look like in hot rod black. I wanna "murder" my car. I read it was about 10-15% gloss. I was wondering if I could add a little bit more gloss to it before I spray. Or maybe if I ever decided I didn't like it, could I just add a clear coat over it? Think it'd look the same as just a standard black paintjob? Has anyone else had any experience with the SEM Hot Rod Black paint? Thanks for some feedback ahead of time.

Since you didn't post a picture for reference, here is the color he is talking about:

Yea, I was gonna do that but I couldn't from my phone. So I jumped on the computer. Lol. Thanks. They both show it really well.

Yea I was gonna add one but I couldn't from the phone. So I jumped on the computer. Thanks for that. But they both show the paint color well. I like it but not sure if it would look right on my car?

It might look good, but it has a higher chance of looking like you just rattle canned some flat black since you're broke. :/

Well if it looks like either of the cars above then it wouldn't look like that. Especially not if it looks like the Cam.

not a fan. i'm a fan of gloss black. glossy colors in general

Don't do a flat on alero it'll look stoopid, especially with a bodykit. Ur not shootin the paint urself r u?

I was thinking it wouldn't look too good either but I was just debating and trying to get opinions. I thought it might look good on a slammed Alero. Yea, painting it myself.

If u do paint it make sure u set ur gun right and practice if you've never shot flat before or else ur gunna end up with a tiger striped alero

Look at old pics of my car or even somewhat now lol it's pretty close.

might look ok, but flat black should be backed up with gobs of power IMO, so on your car is would be silly...

I like that color a lot should look good

Here's my satin black aed from like 2-3 yrs ago

I think itll look good like pimps. I spray painted the cowl hood, aka "boatek" hood as others call it, flat black 1.00 flat black wal-mart spray paint looks good I did a pretty decent job as well

:eek: :cry: you should be tortured slowly to death....

Can I do it? PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE... Just kidding Hok























or maybe not. LOL

That color is awesome. I actually wouldn't mind having it on my car, as long as I got rid of the chrome window trim.

Thanks for the input guys. I hope it looks good. I'll post pictures when it gets done if I have the chance. About to move to Colorado so it might not even be done soon. But hopefully. Anywho. I also wanna have the chrome trim done black. What would be the best way to do it? Paint or lay vinyl over it? I think people on here have done it both ways? Post pics please!

Get the graphite metalcast paint.
