Well, its not glossy black...How it was explained to me is matte/satin are alot closer to each other than say 'flat'. Most people seem to just be doing a 'flat'

After awhile a 'flat' black would get chalkboard like and really dry looking. So we removing the bumper and sprayed the entire mouth (fangs, fins, license plate holder area) in a matte/satin black which has a low gloss to it. That picture has some reflections to it which really give it a big gloss finish but its not...take a look below.

Whats cool about a satin black is that it tricks you because its almost like in certain lights a silver ( or PG

) wants to pop from underneath it. Which happens to come off looking badass on my car.
