How to make matte black from bumper spray?
You can make your own matte paint for the bumper if you have glossy material. To do this, you need to purchase paint in cans or cans. A small amount of ordinary chalk is added to the composition.
Instead of this product, finely ground rice flour is added, which eliminates the gloss effect. If there is a need to prepare paint for stamping, it is recommended to use children's tooth powder.
Removing old paint
So, the first thing you need to do is remove the old paint. To do this, all dirt, dust, and so on are washed off from the car. After washing, the car should dry.
Now you need to decide how the matte painting of the car will take place:
- With the removal of body elements;
- No dismantling.
There is no difference - whatever suits you. If you plan to remove the body elements, then this should be done as the next step.
If you don’t plan to remove anything from the car, then now you need to cover all unpainted parts with the protective materials that were indicated a little higher.
After all these operations, you can begin to remove rust. This can be done using sandpaper or a grinding machine. Immediately after corrosion has been removed from any element of the machine, a primer is applied to that area.
Only after removing all the “bugs” can you begin to remove the old paint layer from the car. The photo shows this process using a grinding machine:
It must be said that some chemicals, that is, paint solvents, can be used for this purpose.
So, after removing the old layer of paintwork from the car body, it is completely degreased. For this, a regular solvent is used. You need to wipe thoroughly and everywhere, and especially in those places where there was rust.
Mother of pearl for cars
The preparation of mother-of-pearl paint for a car is carried out from finely dispersed black mother-of-pearl , gum arabic - black resin, colored ink and mother-of-pearl. Small jars are pre-prepared into which the mixture will later be poured. Take 5 parts of mother of pearl and one part of gum arabic. These components are mixed until a homogeneous paste form is obtained.
You can get mother of pearl at home from fish. The fish scales are placed in a jar and filled with water. After this, take a mixer and beat the composition. This will cause the pearlescent film to separate into small crystals. After this, the scales are removed and the resulting sediment is dried. It must be added to paint to obtain a pearlescent tint.
ATTENTION! Pearlescent pigment is obtained from guanine, which is found in fish scales.
Inlays with crystals and stones on dark nails
To decorate a monochrome palette, use all available means:
- small opaque “caviar”;
- polished mother-of-pearl pearls;
- crystal chips;
- Swarovski crystals;
- rhinestones of different sizes and colors cut like real precious stones;
- natural ornamental and precious minerals.
For clothes and linen stamping
If there is a need to make paint for trousers, it is recommended to use natural materials. The ideal option in this case would be blueberries, coffee or tea.
These materials are applied to clothing for several hours. To obtain the best results when dyeing clothes, it is best to soak them in a solution. If you want to create an indelible paint, then you need to add mordants in the form of potassium bichromate, potassium alum, copper sulfate, etc.
Caring for matte kitchen facades
In order for your kitchen set to serve you for a long time and retain its original appearance for many years, you need to carefully care for it:
- Do not use rough brushes or sponges. Surfaces should only be wiped with soft microfiber cloths.
- Detergents should not contain alcohol or abrasive particles - they cause scratches and dulling of facades.
- Porous surfaces should be constantly wiped from moisture and dirt so that they do not accumulate in the pores.
- After wet cleaning, the facades are wiped with a dry cloth.
Some people choose matte facades because fingerprints and stains are invisible on them. But timely cleaning is still necessary - if it is not carried out, the set will quickly lose its former attractiveness. It must be remembered that matte facades scratch much more easily than glossy ones. Although the damage is less visible, it must be handled carefully.

Malachite
Dark green, malachite or grassy shades give a positive outlook on life and calm. With their help, they create images that are stunning in their strength and beauty. They are combined with sunny, white, black and lilac tones, and shiny elements.
Bordeaux
Since ancient times, burgundy and garnet colors were considered the privilege of emperors and the highest aristocracy. And today they fascinate, giving the female image a touch of authority and self-confidence. Pairs well with white and black, silver and gold accents, and pink tones.
Red
Dark red can be combined with the following colors:

Leveling the surface
Surfaces can be leveled by grinding or straightening. Straightening a car involves applying a layer of putty to all deformed areas. Sometimes you have to “pull out” some elements, that is, align them by heating. In general, you need to align and display each element separately, paying attention to all the flaws.
After applying the putty and allowing it to dry completely, the surface is sanded with sandpaper, ensuring both the evenness and smoothness of the surface.
It would be a good idea to apply a layer of primer on top of the putty.
