I am trying to stay completely away from the flat, satin black. I was looking at maybe a Satin green or a satin blue. Just have to figure out how to make satin look. From the sounds of it it's all in the flatting agent? I read in one of the magazines a guy was talking about how he got his Satin paint job and he said he used a satin clear coat. I've looked and looked but can't any satin clear coat. Guess i will have to do more research.
