well you dont have to put a clear over it but it wont last nearly as long. I plan on putting a flattener clear over the paint so it will last 5+years

yay flattener! I would suggest using some pearl in the paint or in the clear before the flattening layers. It looks dynamite, very much like satin sheets. I have been thinking about experimenting with kandies and flatteners, just have to see when I have time.

I'm not saying that satin black doesn't look sick. it does. But it's way too played out. I'd like to do something new. I like that silver on the bike I posted in the first page, and the orange/gold pearl supra also. Some of the other colors look good too, and there are endless colors to chose from. But the thing is, some colors that look sick on a t/a will not be good on an SS. (IMO). I have black interior, and silver roll cage. The kawasaki titanium is a sick color, but may be overdoing it with the silver. Would still be sick though. That orange is definitely killer and would be very sick satin, but I don't know if I want something that bright. at least it would be satin, right? too many options here!

No one's posted the GM LS7 Camaro? Pics of it have been posted many, many times. It's what started this whole satin black thing.

The color is called Titanium. If you go on the Ron Ayers website, he has a paint section where the paint can be purchased. Its a PPG paint from what I remember.
