Re: Painting 84 GMC grill

Most time the paint will be some degree of gloss but you do not want to put in on heavy your sort of misting the paint a little bit on the drier side of spray, same for satin. You can get paint mixed in flat /clear with satin. Do some pre-painting get the speed and distance that works best for you for both finishes. what comes closes to the look.

You do not want to put to heavy or to wet it can turn the paint to change wet look or / clear to go more glossy.
The Prep / cleaning /finish are going to be Key take your time then painting.
