Its your truck, and I like both styles personally.

I dig the "suede" look but shiney is hard to beat too...
what colors are you looking at?

I prefer gloss as satin would seem to be harder to keep clean.

PINK!


Semi Gloss will tend to hide any irregularities better! But gloss black cherry would be beautiful with a tendancy to "burn" it at the edges.

J!

I have a satin paint job on my bike. The nice part is no waxing. You do have to be careful around the satin paint, any rubbing on it you lose the satin. Satin Black Cherry would be something to see.

Hey Julie how about satin pink? LOL.
