from what i hear, to do it "right" you spray gloss black first, sand and scuff that and shoot a satin clearcoat over the top.. it will be in the 300.00 range to DIY but the results will last as long as a new car paintjob would. The problem with basic satin or flat paint is the paint itself, it shows imperfections like none other and you will have to wash it with degreaser to get dirty fingerprints off.. I think it looks good though and if you do a search for satin black and/or a member named nonglossjason, he had a satin black LX.. I almost painted my car that color temporarily but went the full shebang with gloss instead
