So, my question I guess is: What is the best way to care for semi gloss or flat paints? Like the hot rod blacks, etc?

Thanks! :dblthumb2:

Wash them and keep them clean.

For anyone reading this into the future... knowing there's not a lot you can do as far as correction work, polishing or waxing flat paints... take this into consideration before buying something with flat paint or having something painted with flat paint...


And since this was your first post...

The flat green looks good on it too...

As for maintenance, basically you just wash it... there's a company that claims to have a wax out for matte finishes but I've never used it and I'm not sure about how it would work on paint like yours...

One thing for sure, anything that dries white you want to avoid...


Nice!
