Not a big fan of flat paint. Satin on the other hand can be very tasteful imo if its done correctly. You dont necessarily have to spend a ton of money on paint either. Ive seen rattlecan jobs look just as good as professional jobs. Its all the prepping.

My paint job probably cost a few hundred dollars. The satin black was only 80 bucks but I got a small CRX. Then the tape probably out ran the actual cost of the paint. Used a ton of rolls

. Then w/e primer costs. Used some my dad had left over from his other cars. I agree its all in the prepwork. It has to be nice and smooth or flaws will show, but flat paint is slightly more forgiving.

Flat paints are more forgiving except black.....even in flat and satin colors, black still brings out the imperfections.
