mine is hot rod flatz. the only thing about satin clear is that you cannot buff it out so you better be a damn good painter and not get any orange peel. if you were gonna do that, just do a nice dark black with a satin clear, not flat black. IMO flat black has too much of a grey tint to it

I would advise against doing any car flat or semi flat unless its a trailor queen. Your gonna get scratches in it sooner or later and you cant just sand and buff it out like gloss paint. You have to be way too careful with it. Sap, bird crap, even if you wash it too hard it will be shinier in that spot.

There's my blitz black. At the price that this paint cost it doesn't bother me if I have to sand it down and spray in a couple years. I enjoy sitting in the garage and working on my car though
the rear I have to get redone because the filler panel didn't turn out right and I need to sand down my tail lights for saftey inspection but I will post that when it's complete

Car is almost fully sanded... gonna go into the booth for gloss black... hmm so red airburhs on the camaro inserts for both front and back, red on the calipers, emblems, lug nuts, the lip of the wheel, fuel rail, cc cover, coil packs, red slp logo on lid... it should look nasty soon
