It is cool to me how many of those awesome trucks are on this forum!
The best way to do a quality job getting a satin or flat finish is to use a good clear with proper amount of flattening agent for the effect desired. Having the good clear still gives you the UV protection to help prevent fading & chalking. Keep in mind when you spray flat or satin, there really is no chance for polishing out errors. And it is harder to repair & match in the event you have to down the road.(I am not trying to turn this into a paint & body topic. Just trying to help.)
Here are 2 I have on my comp.
