What's CARIZZMA? BASF? R-M?
At BASF, our main business is paint, where we offer multiple
brands with a variety of applications. Carizzma which is the
official paint of the TV Show Overhaulin', is a line under the
BASF R-M brand. BASF is the leading supplier of Original
Equipment Auto Finishes.
The latest craze in the Automotive Aftermarket today is a
Matte/Flat paint job for your vehicle. BASF brought this in
the mainstream years back at SEMA and continues to
make noise with this new technology. To read up on Flat
Paint, and answer some of your questions, just click on
CarizzmaColors.com.
About R-M Carizzma Flat Paint:
Carizzma allows a reduction in the gloss level of the clear
coat, giving you the option to produce any color in a flat
finish. The technique and the product is essentially the
same as any normal paint application; the trick lies in how
BASF flattens out the clear in their proprietary mix ratio.
During the application process, however, there is one
difference: On a regular paint job you wet sand and buff the
finish when you are done. On a flat paint job, you skip that
process, allowing the paint to simply air dry or bake.
Maintenance on Carizzma is very easy: Just hand wash,
dry and you're done. The paint rarely scratches because of
the flat DC92/DC98 clear and you never have to wax it!!!

traveling to car shows far and wide, and cruising in their
cool-as-hell hot rods. The Electroline Diaries is a window
into the unique lifestyle of the Choppers that has influenced
gearhead culture around the world. Burbank Choppers
celebrates today's kustom kulture from an insider's
