I have a two part question. I am preparing to paint my 47 1/2 ton. I plan on painting it black. The sheet metal is in very good condition but I know black is not very forgiving and will show imperfections more than other colors. This will not be a show truck and I am not too worried if on the bed side it is not laser straight or there is some other imperfection. I was looking at paint options on the Eastwood site and this caused my questions.
First, I am a rookie in regards to auto/truck painting.
I am considering going with a Satin Black. I was not considering it until I saw it on their site. I was going to apply a single stage paint.
Which is more forgiving, a gloss or a satin black?
Being a rookie, is one harder to get good results than the other?
This question is just an opinion question. Thoughts on the gloss vs. sating finish for a vintage truck.
