Re: Help me decide flat or gloss black

what about maybe doing a gloss black over all and then doing satin stripes or accents
I've seen 2010 challengers that were all gloss black with satin racing stripes... I've also seen it where they painted the rockers and the bumpers flat or satin and the rest would be gloss...
there is a difference between flat, satin, and gloss too...
its hard to explain but in a sence satin is in between flat and gloss in reguards to its shin and depth...
(flat having no shine and gloss... you get the picture)
my vote both lol

Re: Help me decide flat or gloss black

did my 87 in flat black
cops said the drunk chick that ran into it said she dropped her sub
she picked it up and didn't see the truck PARKED(on the red spots) in front of her
she hit/moved it with a honda accord tire going threw the windsheild onto the hood
I'd go gloss but either way clear coat it
the black went "chalky" after a while
