Are matte and satin different?
Are matte and satin different?
What would you say the decklid blackout on the CS and Boss is?
Monday my car goes in to have the decklid and top of hood bump painted black.
If satin is one 'notch' under gloss, that's what I'm looking for.
I've been looking at other cars with flat/matte/satin black accents. What bugs me is the raised edge of the painted sections. Looks like a decal even though its painted. Putting a clear over it would prevent that, but wouldn't that make it gloss black, then?
I've heard there's a 'matte finish clear'?
I'm sort of having 11th hour jitters.
Thanks.

I think I'm going with satin.
If you want that, then I recommend SEM HR010 Hot Rod Black, a satin black. Used it on Awesome's skirts and lower bumpers... love it. It's not too flat, and it's not all that shiny, just... nice.

It's in the shop right now.
I told them to try and match the finish of the black part of the faux gas cap.
I'll post pics soon of how ot came out.
