Berger uses "bumper black" which is a satin. I used it on my SS.

I just told the body shop to use bumper black and I brought some pics bro.

It's not expensive paint. I think I paid like $100 to have my done. The stainless and other emblems cost more LOL.

Good luck!

I'm not sure what the exact paint was bro. I know it wasn't cleared.

Like I said, just stop by your shop and ask.

when i go to do mine i will use clear and just add the flatner to it. using a rattle can just doesnt seem like it would hold up over time, but i am a painter and it would just be easier for me to do it that way..
