Re: Matte Vs Gloss

i hate glossy paint and chrome rims, the glossy cars ive bought were sanded and repainted flat colors. I wasnt even aware it was a current trend.. even my model cars got painted flat colors when i was kid

matter of taste but..... my camaro is not wearing lip gloss

Yes, I know... Old post... but came across this pic...
Semi / Satin Black...

I like how the bit of shine highlights the lines, where a normal paint job sometimes loses the lines in all the reflections of the surroundings...

I agree, go with a basic base coat/clear coat high gloss! The flat black looks great on the old rat rods, but not so much on newer cars....just my .02
