Anyone know a Good and Durable Satin Automotive Body Paint System? Not Hot Rod Black

For flat finishes we have been using the Uno line from RM. They are super durable, hold up well to washing and cleaning, and are super simple to use. Single stage topcoat, no flattened clear.

I am not sure about availability in your area, but it is an R-M product

I think the flat clear coats will be an issue. The more they are rubbed (like washing, removing road grime, etc.) the image changes, they start to get shiny. Makes them look uneven. I'd love to see how the flat paints without the flat clear hold up.

The Uno Matte single stages hold up really well. On one of our engine bays, it hasn't marked from tools, fuel splash, coolant, or repeated washing with soap etc and a sponge for car shows. It was only two med. coats on top of an epoxy primer.

Here is a link to the line. Your supplier will be able to tell you what colors etc they can mix. No metallics, solid colors only.

And you are right Jody, flattened clears do NOT hold up well

Thanks for the info Tyler. I like the flat look but hated how uneven they looked after some wear and tear.
