flat black over custom paint on mach 1
I have a 72 mustang mach 1 that i had painted about 6 years ago. its all one color, I want to have the side stripes and trunk stripes put back on here in spring which are a pinstripe or a sticker, if you will. The original mach 1s had a large portion of the hood painted flat black though. How hard or expensive would it be to have that done over my existing paint?

Cool thanks, yea I was not planning on a clear coat over the black. SO this might not be too spendy for a paint shop to do? I suppose I would need to be careful washing that area then? or does the flat black stick pretty well?

The paint will stick very well, if you properly scuff the area that is going to be painted flat black.
Mask off the area to be painted and wetsand with some 1000 or 1500 paper. Give it a good wash and degreaser, then spray on your flat black.
Did I miss anything "Sorry im fairly new to body work, mostly because im only 17" Just ih case i left something out.
