Paint the satin black, or the black and satin clear. Make sure you use fine line masking tape so you're left with a nice clean edge. After the satin areas have cured enough, mask them off with the same fine masking tape and use regular clear on the color portion. That way the paint seams butt up against each other :)


no accuracy required hear. lol
Are u guys sure i cant just use my trusty grinder to sofen the paint edge? maybe a feather disk.:P

You sure could! It might take some time to color sand out those 24 grit scratches, but hey, I bet its possible! :laugh: Yes, you need to be accurate with your masking. But the beauty of masking tape is that if its not perfect, you just pull it up and re-lay it. Take your time and go slow, you'll get it.
