Did you thin it down? If so, what ratio?

I'd be worried of spraying that satin and not having a satin clear and it getting all fucked up and faded in a couple years. At least with a Rustoleum gloss black you can buff the ---- out of it if it fades or scratches.

sorry that was a typo what I meant to say was rain will wash away paint and over time, and stuff will scratch it and yes wax will protect the paint because its something covering the paint. If he cared what it looked like he wouldn't pay $50 to paint it in spray paint. But protecting it a little better will keep him from having to paint up scratches every other week. think about it dumb ----.

Primer soaks up water, oil, and everything else though.

You can use Dupont base black paint and a mixture of 2:1 dulling agent in the clear to get the same effects but with a actual UV protected clear coat. THATS WHAT I DID and no fading at all.
