Ok, there are at least 4 of you on this forum ith a “rubberized” flat black or at had one at one point,
What’s the secret and how’s it done?
Costs?
Pro’s/Con’s?
-
mask
-
shake
-
spray
No need to sand?
and what paint is the rubberized black?
does anyone have a preferance, or does everyone use Krylon Rust tough?
rocker guard.
thats all it is
why on earth you would do it is beyond me.

The only person I know who had a rubberized paintjob was Adam, and he sold that car.
There’s lots with flat black though. Maybe that’s where your confusion lies.
I’ll pay you $50 to paint your car with the “beige” rocker guard paint.
Black cars are for wussies. Real men have beige cars.
I’m Painting My Winter Beater 240SX Rubberized Black Tomorow,
If I see $50.00cdn in my Paypal Account (powertune@hotmail.com)
I will do it in Rubberized Rocker Guard Beige.
As Who has painted their car with Rubberized Black it Stands at:
- 1990 240SX “Adam” (Painted by ME)
- 1989 Tarus SHO “Spilner” (Painted by Tyler)
- 1991 Toyota Carolla “RickyDangerious” (Painted by ME and Rick)
- 1989 240SX Winter Beater “Adam” (Painted by ME)
Polak182 I didn’t even wash my car before I painted it with Rubber.
That Stuff Sticks to Anything, and I mean ANYTHING…
I just masked off my windows, shook the can, and sprayed.
The only pointer I have is because this stuff is really really thick, is stand
far back and start and finish a full sweep from on to off the car. Like don’t
go and stop halfway down the side while still spraying, stop and go the
other way. You will quickly in that split second build up a huge mound of
rubber and when it dries looks blotchy. Practice on something 1st.
Pro’s:
- Look’s FREEKIN AWESOME!
- Stay’s Cleaner
- Fill’s Scratches dents and dings
- Don’t have to wax it
- If you Scratch just re-spray over it
- Mad Attention Grabber
Con’s:
Other than your car looking like it was sponsored
by Rubbermaid I really don’t have any Con’s
Anyone have pics?
Just in case I decide to go this route I wanna know what I’m getting into. I already rubberized my interior but exterior…that’s a bigger step :shock: .
Note: The Blotchy Hood…
question: what if you mess up and it does look blotchy? is there any way to try to start over :?
Yeah let it dry and do a second coat…
The shit is so thick it covers up over the mistakes 
EDIT: The only con I Just thought of is this paint job is pretty much permanent.
Don’t do it on a car that you plan to paint properly later, It will not come off!
Now the guy I sold my car choose to take it all off it cost him $1000 alone to get this stuff professionally removed.
What colours can you get?
i saw a guy do a two tone, flat forrest green on top and a flat black down low on a fast back…looked cool.
Damn… That actually looks really nice. I think I’d still prefer a glossy paint job for a DD, but for a track car, this stuff rules.
sorry i lied, i just remembered it being two tone.
I don’t like that one as much… Maybe it’s the colour, or maybe how it looks in the lighting. The one before looked real nice though.
any other colours available? i actually might want to ruin my car/make it look really awesome - but i dont want it the typical black…and i dont like forest green :shock:
I heard it also weights alot, how much of that stuff do u usually need?
And, I once read somewhere, it messes up radio reception.
Adam, Do you think you can help me do it on my car?
like in about a month or so, I need to get it painted after i sand it down and get rid of the rust. I might just go with flat black rather than the rubbery stuff, we’ll see how it looks in person if I ever will see it. And, what did you do about the engine bay?
ps. That SHO must look like robocops car…lol
Edit: its for my beater aswell
the question is how do perserve the rattle-can flat black look after you have a car wash. it looks its best when wet!
i guess clear coat it a bunch of times?
