It was about this time that things get a little fuzzy. I'm not sure if it was my buddies coaxing me, or holding me back. All I know is somewhere along the way, I threw the simple satin black look out the window. I have a real good excuse though.

Having spent many a weekend under the hood of a car/truck at a show cleaning and detailing the motor I have discovered something. Shiny paint cleans up much easier than satin paint. Since smooth and shiny equates to less work, and less work makes life simple, then effectively I was keeping it simple by making it shiny. At least thats the story I settled on. It sounds much better than the other one I made up.
