I'll be doing a build thread soon, matt black with rattle cans, its not as easy as people make out.

yes it is

i used 8 cans to do this, the only time it got more paint was when it got dirty, i just quickly masked it up and gave it another quick coat to get it looking mint again and save me having to clean it

i just gave it a quick rub over with some scotch bright, masked up the windows then gave it a coat of red oxide (that was the colour i was going with to start with till i saw how shit it looked lol), then just used 8 cans of matt black on it.

i'm currently painting my scirocco matt black one panel at a time as i sort the rot and bodged filler repairs on it to give me a solid base for the proper colour its going, if the weather's good this weekend i should get a good amount sorted and i'll be posting photos up in my build thread if you want to have a gander. i'll be using a lot more than 8 cans on this but only because its only costing £1.39 per can

after a couple of weeks though it loses the shine that mine had in the photos above and goes like this

i like the car, colour n everythin lokks good to me.. dont like the bad boy bonnet. but the rest is fine.. wanted to do the satin myself.. was hopin for gettin it done this summer just gone.. but never really got chance. with the wind n everythin. now i gotta put up with it with a black bonnet, primed rear boot lid and front bumper and wing. looks shit.

na u dont lol I'm gonna spray mine matt black over the next couple weeks lol jus get it spray on a dry day

tbh, i was hopin sell the car, just wanted it all one colour agen.. just to get rid. its a mint car, inside and out and am still after this derby i seen for sale. just wont get a sale having it half primed and half red. the two worst colours to have, even if for the time being. lol

I sprayed mine about a year and a half ago and took a week off work, spent two days rubbing down, and a mate said I could use his car port, and we sealed it so it, so there was no wind. Took me less than ten cans, just took my time over it, got a good finish, but winter came and it started to flake in some places.

Not a polo, but enjoy the pics.

Enjoy,

Sold her earlier this year.

Id have left it like that, looks amazing!! Just cover it in lacquer.
