What is this...cuz BMW, Benz etc all have an option for flat paint. In fact it cost more to have it done. My car is flat/satin black and i dont think it looks ricer!
i got the picture from another thread on here and the op on there said it was plasti dipped, so i just just wanted to share it here...

I do not intend on doing this to my car i plan on panting the whole car i just wanted to find out more info on this and see why anyone would do this and how well it worked

I think it's a great idea. The Audi looked fantastic! For anyone wanting a quick, temporary change for less than $500, this is the perfect solution!!

I haven't seen an OEM flat black finish yet and I detail a lot of very high end cars.

I have seen people do it right, but they spend a **** ton of money DOING it right (not the average joes, spray can paint job that I see 99% of the time).

Anyway, when in the hell did I say flat/satin black was ricer? I said PLASTIDIPPING YOUR ****ING CAR MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A RETARDED 16 YEAR OLD KID WITH $20 WHO WENT INTO LOWES AND FOUND THE CHEAPEST THING POSSIBLE TO COVER HIS OXIDIZED PAINT.

There, is that clear enough?

Um dude really. im a very pacient person but ur ignorance pisses me off. lexus sc300/400 was the american version of te toyota soarer. really and also the soarer was made based off the mk4 supra. why u think u can take everything off a supra and put it on the sc. So if u dont know what ur talking about then just keep ur mouth shut. or as everyone say google it and ull find the truth


hey look i googled http://www.cars-directory.net/specs/...soarer/1991_5/

You're a ****ing moron! I've got a huge book with pictures of them designing the car. So who's right Lexus or you? Lol get the **** out of here with your lulzinternetcantfinishawordwithouttypingitalltenyearoldattitude.

The American Calty design team took a different approach to designing the car,[5] using plaster molding shapes to design the body,[3] and working three-dimensionally instead of the traditional 2-D sketch approach.[3] As described by design chiefs Denis Campbell and Erwin Lui,[3] the result was a car that was based on "emotion and feeling" rather than linear aesthetics. The resulting design possessed almost no straight edges, and produced a drag coefficient of Cd 0.31.[3] According to automotive journalist Bill Russ, the SC design was considered influential among automotive designs of the time.[4]

The SC 400 débuted on June 1, 1991 in the United States as a 1992 model. The SC 400's 4.0*L V8 1UZ-FE, the same engine as used in the LS 400, was reported to have cost over US$400,000,000 in research and development.[6] The SC 400 was honored as the Motor Trend Import Car of the Year for 1992. It also made Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list for 1992 through 1998.
