Default satin black

i just painted my jeep satin/flat black... its a DuPont single stage paint.. seems to be holding up really nice ! i know their are a few people that already did the flat/satin paint but Ive always loved the look.. i took the jeep completely apart inside and out .. took a lot of work but i think it was worth it. i have some narrow river raider steel flares that i love .. but the cops don't around here so i think I'm gonna have to go with the wide xenons.. wish i could run without any anyway here are some pics still a work in progress but let me know what you guys think.

That is F-ing awesome. I would love to do a satin black... or maybe a satin green. Great looking Jeep. I'm jealous

I like the detail. Did you paint the springs and winch too?

It looks great. My only concern would be how well mudd washes off of it without staining or imbedding in the paint and making it look like crap after awhile. Let me know about that or if yall did something to help prevent it.
