Anyone have any pictures of a Flat Black Firebolt? I'm thinking about covering the last owner's scratches and fading from sitting outside for 2+ years |

I think you should just do it and then take some pics. |

Painted mine flat black in 2006. Paint is holding up very nicely, I tested half a dozen different brands of rattle can flat black, and Rustoleum's Textured for Metals held up better than anything else I had tried, including Krylon's Fusion for Plastics. I prepped the plastics with a red Scotchpad, sprayed away, and flattened out the texture with some less aggressive pads about a week later. IIRC I've got $16 invested in my paint job. |

i bought some abused skins for my 9S and painted it flat black using Krylon fusion "satin black". wasnt really happy with the initial results but like chainsaw, i scuffed it with some light scotch brite and it actually looks decent. i put it on every now and then to switch up things but its not my ace set. just experiment, if you dont like it...sand it and spray over it. |
