I am working on a 46 Chevy 1/2 ton. I was thinking of flat paint, but now am rethinking that. I intend to drive this truck, just worried about removing bugs and highway grime from a flat paint surface. My wife is cheering for shiny paint anyway so maybe I should be smart and go that route. Anyone have flat paint and how do you like it?

I like your wife's idea better. Bugs are a problem with flat paint. Pick up the next to last issue of "Strret Rodder". There is an article on laying down flat finishes.
