Will,

As you have probably surmised, as far as painted finishes go, gloss is easiest to wipe down but most difficult shows scratches and flaws the most. Completely flat actually shows scuffs a bit more easily than satin, so satin is a nice compromise.

I’d suggest you just add little flattener to automotive paint of your choice. It worked well to produce a satin finish and it has worn well on my car. I saved the paint and if ever needed, I’ll just catalyze a small amount and use my small touch up gun. Some paint shops will load an aerosol can for you for touch up.

I’ve many heard many speak highly of the truck bed coatings for durability and ease of maintenance but I didn’t want to go that way.

Best,
Kelly
