Thinking about using some SEM Trim Black for the side valence, spoiler and rear valence. Prbably use it single stage with out clear coat as it has a satin finish. Is there a satin clear coat available? My paint supply shop said only glossy clear.
Have heard of using lacquer thinner in place of reducer will yield a satin/semigloss finish(?) with some paints, but I wonder about the effect on clear coat.

I've been using just regular Rustolium satin and it looks good. I hear Wurth is better.

There are a lot of satin paint on the market and satin clears too. I know that the clears are quite fragile and are not the thing to use for lower parts of a car. House of Kolor has a flateming agent that can be used too. The satin paints are designed for the hot rod crowd and I've seen them advertised in many paint mags. I'll try to get some names if you want to go that route.
