So i used some wrap and i like this look. This was satin. The question is what does everyone recommend as far as painting satin? Just spray satin black and leave it? how would it stand up? Bumper will be back from the chrome shop next week as well

I was thinking Satin black paint and then satin clear would be the best. Any recommendations? Picking the wrong black could really ruin the car. I don't want it flat but i also don't want it glossy.


Car now has its cuts and bruises fixed.

Did you consider painting it gloss black and then a clear satin wrap over it to see how you'd like it over time? Since it's a smaller area you can always remove or replace the wrap as needed. Just a thought. If you do spray it black just add a satin clear. They make sealants specifically for satin finishes so you can still protect that part.

Randy - I assume Rodney painted the whole car one color... I like this suggestion, I would take it one step further. Leave the rear copper, get a wrap made for the tail panel that is satin black. Done! Then, if you want to go gloss black or change back to copper just peal it off.

It looks great. I really like the way it breaks up the tail and shows off the strip around the lights.
