I have a 91 W250 that I am going to do sometime in February with Rustoleum Navy Blue. I found a birdbath hood and am thinking of painting it a satin black which Rustoleum has. Anyone have any experience with the satin paints. I assume you would still buff after the final coat?



I tried real hard to get Satin to work, but I just couldn't get rid of the roller marks. I did a fender, and it looked great. When I did the rest of the car, any large panel like the hood and the roof had roller marks.

I made a valiant attempt, with 4 to 6 coats and wetsanding every two in between. It never turned out right. I ended up switching to Gloss, which came out fine.

Who's that guy that did the '69 Mach 1 in satin? His came out great.
