Dude, you've had 573 cars in 4 months, how in the hell are we supposed to know which one was what, when and why?

Anyway, I painted Dave's (I'm Phucked) hatch in flat white with a black top (similar to my 2 tone) and it looked great. Granted, the car was already white but it was stellar. All it took was some of the usual suspects when it comes to paint jobs.

i dont think it should be hard at all..if your spraying it your self just add some pearl to the paint..
they also offer a gloss in all those colors..
but what i would do is mix it, and then get a satin or almost flat clear, and clear over the flat to give it that satiny look...
but i think it would look sick in one of those flat colors..there allmost satin as it is..

also check out towards the bottom of the page..the metallic flats are sick..

I dont know about the single stage stuff, but the ppg satin clear, you pretty much cant wax it, or you'll end up making it shine.

If i wanted satin, i'd shoot PPG global sealer and call it a day.
