I've seen plenty of gloss black mantas and they look great but I want something a little different. Does anyone have a flat or satin black manta on a silver ss?

just curious, are you referring to paint, or vinyl decal/graphics?? if paint, then satin. if you're talking about stripes, you dont really have as many options.
you only have the basic black, which i have, which is not a really glossy black, more like a satin/semi-gloss, or, you can get flat/matte black, which has less sheen to it. if you're talking stripes, i'd say do the regular black, although the matte wouldn't look bad either.

im going to try and do it with some vinyl when i go back home over summer. The vinyl is matte black but with a little bit of liquid wax it gives it a deeper black look.
Here is a pick of the matte rims and top

The black hood insert was put on the car a while ago. Its a different vinyl with a shiny lamination.
