Re: Anyone with Paint Experience?
Black base with a flattened cler is by far the way to go. As Funk said, you can control the gloss; sand & polish it; and you still have UV protection from the clear. So in a nutshell...you have a nicer finish that will hold up better for longer.

Re: Anyone with Paint Experience?
Driveway YOU know better!!!! You CANNOT polish flattened or satin paint!!! Because as soon as you polish, its not flat or satin anymore.

Re: Anyone with Paint Experience?
you can the clear if it has a flattening agent in it, the agent affects all the clear, not just the very top, so even if you sand it, and polish it out to get the scratches out, it'll still be dull...

Re: Anyone with Paint Experience?
REALLY, You would have to prove it to me. Because you can't tell me that where you polish is going to look the same as where you didnt. And you cant tell me that if you polished the whole thing, that it would look like it never was polished.

Re: Anyone with Paint Experience?
I've got 10 years painting experience, and I have painted about 20 or so flat matte paint jobs on differnt cars and hotrods. You can't buff it! just no way. once you clear it thats what you get. if you run it or get a lot of dirt in it you might as well cut it down and re-clear. If there is such a clear/flatner out there what is it? I would like to know.

Re: Anyone with Paint Experience?
Brainfart from me on that one guys. I tend to agree with Vintage here. The main thing that makes a flat or satin finish is the lack of light reflecting off the surface. Yes, you could polish the flattened clear but then as said, you would have a milky or dulled down finish. Not flat as intended. On the right color it might work ok but on black, I don't think it would turn out as desired. I think it might be kinda cool as a graphic effect, like on a stripe or something.

Re: Anyone with Paint Experience?
I for one know from experience that you CANNOT wet sand and buff, without bringing the shine back to the clear. Tried that on a Harley tank for a customer, needless to say I tried to wet sand & buff. In the end had to repaint it. So Steel is right,it can't be done, it will shine like new money afterwards
