I want my car to look like the one in the following picture but doubt I can afford the paint that was probably used for it (glasurit?). So, I'm looking for a poor man's version of it (doing my own paint). I'm perceiving the sheen of the clear to not be as pronounced as modern clears. Either way I prefer a Satin finish. I'd like to do a SS urethane with some kind of additive to reduce the sheen slightly (not flat), use a BC/CC with a satin clear of some kind OR I'd also consider using "Hot Rod Flatz" paint, which is probably the easiest/cheapest but they have like 20 white shades, how would one choose? Any suggestions? Here's the inspiration car: http://xdesktopwallpapers.com/wp-content/uploads/2...eplica.jpg
