1990 454SS, Pole on paint choice
 

So iv got a 90 454ss I bought as a flip project. Sadly sat rotting in a field since 1998!!! I know right, only 8 years old and some dumb ass parked it and let it rot cuz of a few bent valves. So anyways its had a full frame off resto. Every single mechanical thing has been gone threw, rear end, trans, motor and brake have all been completely rebuilt. Cab corners and rockers were starting to rot and were replaced, the bed was so far gone I opted to find a good used one instead of replacing almost all the sheet metal on it.

So im down to fixing the last few door dings and it time for paint. My question is I want to take a pole on what kind of finish the paint will be. Its staying black but cant decide which finish would be the most profitable (remember its a flip).

Thanks in advance for anyone that votes.

semi gloss, it screams class! flat says i'm unfinished and rushed. semi will show the smoothness of the body.

Gloss if you are planning on driving it much. With a matte or less glossy finish you cannot polish out scratches or imperfections in the finish. I would be nervous to do that on anything that isn't a show car.

I gotta go with above, gloss. If you are fixing it up to flip, the new owner is going to want to see nice and shiny black paint and know how straight the body is.
