Check this thread out, a pewter WS6 with semi-gloss. That's what I plan on using also.

I went semi gloss, I believe you get the best of both worlds. With the semi gloss you still get some contrast between the gloss on the rest of the car without the chalky look of the flat paint. JMO

This isn't related to your WS6 but I just wanted to say your 69 Z/28 is sweet! Got any pictures of the engine?

+1 for the Semi-Gloss. Couldn't make up my mind on gloss or flat so I just went between the two. Love how it turned out and glad I went w/ semi-gloss

If I had a rear bumper that would support some sort of CETA, I'd go satin.
