Default New Paint satin black.

I just got my car painted last week, after all the motor work I thought the car need a make over. I didnt get the engine bay done, I want to do it gloss black, and I didnt feel like taring the motor out. Just wanted to see what you guys think.

Maybe its just the pics but it looks like you did a 200$ Maaco job. Paint looks dull, not glossy and like prep work was done poorly.

i know you didn't want to take the motor out simply to paint the engine bay, but if you weren't going to do it, then you should've painted the car the same color.

yeah its a satin black finish (flat black), its suppost to look dull and not shinny. I have always loved the way the skunk2 car looks, not that mine looks like it, but it does have the same non glossy finish.
