Default Flat or Satin black Manta on a Silver SS?

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.

When I do it I'll have it painted but right now I'd just like to see how it looks. I definately want Satin but a pic of a flat black manta would kinda give me an idea. I've seen satin mantas on black cars but never on a silver one.

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.

I'm getting the VFN 3" SS as soon as the group purchase starts. Hopefully I'll be able to place my order this week.
