"My just-finished suede black paintjob. I'm turning my '96 fleetwood into a 50's style custom. I've even got a set of '57 dagmars that will be replacing the stock front bumper.
She'll be getting gloss-red flames on the hood and down both sides. But the black needs some fixing and touching up, it was rattle-canned krylon.
If anyone is interested she has a website at www.blert.net/fleetwood with pics of the repaint as well as shots of her original (unfortunate) color."
I dont mind the idea of the satin black, but rattle can paint on a fleetwood, a 96 at that, I dont know what to say other than you should get it painted by a professional, that color will wash off eventually, but dont get me wrong the idea is cool.
I kinda like it. Got that '50s cool look to it. I can just see the Fonz show up and say "heeeeeeeyyyyy" Besides.....it looks a hell of alot better than the pink it used to be.
"I rattle-canned it for a couple reasons.
1) Lots cheaper.
2) I've got several body mods planned[1] so spending lots of cash for a paint job I'm going to screw up with the body mods is pointless.
3) I like the look.
[1] welding up the trim holes, custom hood ornament, '57 caddy dagmar front bumper, custom/shaved door handles, etc."
"Once I've got the paint how I want it, I'm planning on using, of all things Armor-All (the kind for vinyl). It helps to protect the surface a bit and more importantly gets me just the right amount of slight shine.
I'm not tooworried about long-term durability as I can always paint it again, and if I ever get to a point where I am not planning any body mods for a long time I can actually use professional grade paint and a paint gun.""
