Default Flat/Satin black paint maintenance

Question, I found out I may be able to get a deal on a professional flat/satin black paint job. My question is, if I did this would it be easier or harder to keep clean than gloss black?

It would be something like this:


This is on my Black H/C 02 Z06 with black wheels. I absolutely hate keeping it clean and I think that^^ looks pretty awesome.

Thanks!

Default

it will still be hard to keep it looking clean. You wont notice things like finger prints like you do with gloss, but you will still get swirls, and dirt will be just as noticeable. Also since its a satin finish any swirls or scratches will not buff or polish out...... well they will but it will make the area glossy.

Default Flat, Satin or Matte

Ah yes big difference in paint but its much better to go with a matte clear coat.
