paint feedback please
i going to paint my truck this summer, it will be the original color. but here is my question....i use my truck and so should i do the color with a flattening agent added? will it be easier to touch up scratches and also the body work doesn't have to be perfect, right? the original is a metallic green (70), not sure if i have a pic with the color or not. thanks.

If it is a work truck and you want to use a flattening agent, why would you want to touch it up later? The flattening agent will make it look like you primered it. Primer won't show minor flaws like shiny paint will. I guess it depends upon what you want to do or have. If I was going to all the trouble, it'd be getting the body pretty straight, painting it up nice and shiny, and enjoy driving my good looking truck (that I did myself). That said, my wife still doesn't understand the polished aluminum wheels on my "run to the dump" truck.........or the 700R4.......or the A/C.........or........or...or
