Painting??

I am sure there is other threads on this... But I want to paint my truck... I am looking for a way to paint like a flat or satin effect, with clear coat over it. I have helped spray before but I dont know how to know what to mix with what and how much? To do this satin effect what am I looking to get? thanks

you will need to put a flattening agent in your clearcoat , all major brands of paint have them , just don't get any dirt in it because if you buff it,it will shine up

House of Kolor, Dupont hot hues series, Alsa Corp. all make paint systems for paint a satin effect. they all should have directions right on the cans for mixing but if you're unsure your local paint store rep. should be able to answer any questions you have regarding that

there is a HOK satin clear available for putting on top of base coatas, good luck
