nicenice. Never really understood the difference between satin and matte. My friends w/shop is bringing in the new matte clear, which was designed for the new lambo colour range. Was thinking of using this, but still kinda undecided

satin is about halfway between matte and gloss...still no reflection but a much "smoother" more refined look...matte is more rough and backyard looking

i had my rims sprayed matt black before i decided to paint them lambrghini satin black..... best decision i ever made. i think matt is ugly and its never done properly either....definately go the satin bro..

Hey bud, i think you should go for it, given i am somewhat biased, its a great look whether you go satin or matte, which ever way you go not everyone will like it but no doubt you're modding the car to suit you and not everyone else.

I like the non-gloss look; it's akin to the 'rat-rod' look that is popular in he US at prsent. the rat-rod look gets away from the flashy,chromey approach; by using 'flat' paints etc; the peformance aspects of modding remain...pretty cool I reckon.

yeah, lamborghini do alot of there colors in satin now....best move ever i reckon.

here you go.. im sure there are other photos of this floating around the net, i first saw flicks of it a couple years ago

satin black looks a heap better than just flat black too -- usually satin looks like it was done properly, and flat black just looks like you did it with $2 tins of spray paint even if done correctly..

Looks great but could wear on you pretty quickly. Go for vinyl wrap if you want to try it. Plenty of places will do it for you.

Id agree with that..

Thing is, i'm betting many people won't dig it.. and although most of the time you don't modify a car with regards to resale value i think painting it flat/satin black will have a big impact on resale (ability not just price!)

Yeah I don't care. I won't sell mine anyway.

I'm in the middle of a proper PPG jet black/ deltron lamborghini and mercedes approved matte clear respray, and I think it looks great. Lots of people told me I was an idiot, but even the painter, who was against it originally, says it's growing on him each time he sees it.

I would love to add pics as part of a build-up thread on here, but I'm fairly computer illiterate and don't know how to re-size the 5mb+ pics my DSLR takes. Anyone?
