wow thanx guys for the compliments.

yes my 04 was flat black long time ago, not to brag but I far as I know I was the first to ride flat black as a paint job. Not only was it flat black, but it was chalkboard black. And yes you could draw on it with chalk.
here are a few of the Gothbox.







And yes DOA is two tone black. Chalkboard black on the bottom and factory BSP on top, I have to put a red pinstripe back on still.

Goth. I didn't know it was chalk board. That is a great idea. I love the looks of the box now but that is just a cool idea.

Was it a pain to clean?

thanx, to clean after drawing on? nah, just a little water, and sometimes soap. nothing a quick trip to the car wash would not fix.
and the other cool thing about it is its cheap, I spent about $18 to paint my car.

You can also use John Deere flat black, thats what a lot of people use, its cheap too, like $28 for a quart with reducer and you can use it in a sprayer.
the chalkboard paint is real think, I actually used a roller to paint my cars.


Yea EZ you should do green on yours. I have heard that you can get a lot of diff colors, I think Crayola makes all kinds of colors.

We did this to mine in between paint jobs. My BF is a flat fanatic, flat orange, flat black you name it all his rides are done in it. So of course, the box had to have it too. Now its back to stock but will soon have flat accents. I love the look but dont mistake it for primer. The primer turns and ends up with a whitish powder look after a while. Be sure to actually use flat black paint. Goth... props on the chalkboard.

I wouldn't recomend using the John Deer Blitz Black, it's a real _____ to spray without striping and if you ever want to repaint you have to strip it all back off and re-prime the whole car. My bagged fullsize is done in it and I MAJORLY regret it. People say it doesnt fade but after about 2 years on my truck it has started to fade and turn grey...that and it scratches pretty easily unless you add the JD Hardener and bake it.... just a heads up.

yea I would not recommend it either, just giving more options, thats ^^ the reason I repainted DOA in chalkboard, it was faded, and even though it was flat black, it still had a shine to it, and I did not like that.
