Please post some pictures of satin black paint jobs. I am still not sure if it is what I want to paint my blazer. And if I paint it satin black what do I do about a clear?

I just put a quick satin black paint job on my motorcycle so I could get it back on the road for a while. The bodywork still needs to be super straight of course or the flat effect looks like your trying to hide something and it'll show bigtime. I'll get a couple pics soon,

After bodywork I used the normal PPG epoxy primer, sanded that perfect with 400 wet and then sprayed a few coats (3-4) of PPG's DBU 9700 black. I like the DBU cause it's a reactive cureing paint that can be controlled during shooting, nibs and little problems can be sanded out within minutes and then recoated quickly. Then on went 3 or 4 full coats of PPG's Flex "N" Flat Clear DCU2060 with 1 part DCX 61 to 6 parts clear.

Let that dry overnight and the next day I was in the wind again!.

or you could just use Sems trim black and recoat here and there as needed since you need not worry about gas spilling on it.

Hey Blazin88, Go with the satin black . ... you can always change later if you don't like it
