Sorry for the ignorant question but can you explain satin vs. semi-gloss?

satin is the flat black look, semi gloss is well semi-gloss just like it sounds. I personally had a gloss black on my old white t/a and it looked good

Satin will look better IMO. Flat often looks unfinished unless its done really well, which is not easy

Hard to tell from this pic but on my old white T/A I went with a gloss graphite, just a lil different.

I went with flat black... an advantage of going flat that most people don't mention is it doesn't get as dirty, or at least noticeable as gloss black does...

satin does show dirt bad either. i like it cause it has a deeper black look to it. flows better with the tail lights/center panel
