Satin black, much better than flat black IMO if you have to do one or the other

I've never liked flat black. I think it's kinda difficult to maintain. They're susceptible to shiny spots leaving un irregular looking finish.

Im used to it since my car came that way, and most ppl complement since it doesnt look shitty. I would still have a paint job over it though, horsepower means a lot more to me than looks so its going to be that way for a while

My old faded flat black


More recent but with paint not primer


Its not pretty but it beat having a burnt orange hood, white/gray front bumper, silver/black fenders, on a gray car
