Ive been working on a 55 chevy truck for my boss for about the last year. Full frame off. Ive got the thing almost ready for paint and he decides hed rather have the truck satin rather than gloss. If I would have known this I wouldnt have spent hours and hours with a long block, but thats another rant. My concern with painting it with base/clear and flatner:s the clear is: How do you get rid of any dirt specs?Y ou cant really wetsand and buff can you? Maybe you guys can help me out by pointing out some pros and cons to painting the truck satin. Thanks, Jared
