Got T2 Painted Satin Black
I got my 87 T2 painted Satin Black with no clear coat to have that flat blackish look, This wasn't a cheap paint job by any means. It cost me $1700, at the same time I had the driver and passanger windows replaced with speed glass racing windows for $300. Leave feed back, I know a lot of people hate the "flat black" look but one glance and you can tell this was done correct, and it's not a spray can job by any means.........Enjoy

That looks really good.
I second the tinted window comment. Some nice dark tint (or at least as dark as is legal, and maybe a it beyond) would look beautiful on that car.

Edit: Although, there are some tricks that the auto shop might have used, such as using a single stage paint instead of a dual stage (clearcoat mixed in with the paint, instead of doing a paint and then clarcoat setup)..

looks good. new wheels and tires would make it look even better. i always hated when the wheels were darker than the tires but the body (the important part) ooks really good.

When I did my 1st gen widebody in the matte black. I used a single stage urethane paint. That stuff is tougher and less scratch resistant than any other paint I have worked with. I messed up the hood on the first go, waited a week and had to start with 150 grit paper to cut it down.
Yours should hold up well. Looks like they did a good job. Black paint, glossy or not, is hard to get to look right.

I like it, my cars flat spray painted black (bought it like that) and i'm also a fan of the sleepy eye, but not on the 2nd gen, and i'm also a fan of rims....get some.....it'll look hot! Oh, and tint the windows.....i love your mufflers what are they?

Don't like it since it does remind me of the SCC project Suby and their black spray can job. Did you do the wheels with a spray can or is it just the angle? Same thing with the area over the rear driver side brake lights, is that a dent or a angle of the flash?

$1700??!?!!? doesn't it have a warranty against chipping or fading for a few years? looks nice though, everything except the sleepy eyes, but to each his own. how did you paint the wheels?
