Thanks for making this video. 1: I definitely thought satin and matte were interchangeable. 2: I now know that the "matte" that I want is actually satin.

[@clarr3333]

same !

[@MrWaheedulHaque]

Yianni: Matte is a lot more duller Mat watson: Wait a minute is he talking about me 😂

[@kingztv8395]

I prefer satin

[@rscosworthfan]

i agree

[@derbigpr500]

I satin prefer

[@Vas1984]

I prefer satin too.

[@biggdogg305]

satin too i prefer lol

[@diesel8999]

Prefer to also satin

[@cjnalam]

satin look sick.

[@thusianreaver]

Matte looks sharper satin looks smoother

[@DungarooTV]

I think the Satin Black is just an overall nicer and vibrant colour while still maintaining that "mean and rugged" feel - good for lips, sideskirts and diffusers!

[@tekkerzboyisnan8198]

matte black look Luke dark grey

[@claireb8542]

Nice video! Great explanation and the 2 vehicles side by side made it much easier to see the difference. Thumbs up from me :)

[@dannysuru]

Matte Black = Batman!

[@samtheitalian4896]

Is one easier to install or more forgiving for beginners? They both look awesome.

[@ThatGuy-tg5xl]

Fair to say the satin black looks much cooler in person? In this video the matte black actually looks good, but in person i'm not a huge fan. BUT if there's a car that really benefits from it it is the Mercedes G

[@ModernDayWarrior]

Love me some satin. Matte looks a little too much like primer, and the contrast seems to make satin appear darker than matte.

[@NewYorkCityBoxing]

That satin black looks mean as hell and I love it.

[@iisupermonkeyii5525]

In my opinion, matt black looks better on a car like a G-Wagon. The styling is very aggressive the matt finish adds to this. Just a thought.

[@taylormiron3516]

agreed, but on that range rover satin takes the cake.

[@peterholeyman7952]

whats the colour code of the satin plzzzz

[@BlazeGraphics]

For a g wagon I prefer matte

[@cardboardkiller6883]

Which is easier to keep clean? Which one shows dirt easier and will make you want to wash your vehicle more often?

[@stevesimkins3918]

Heard on youtube matte is not as robust - Satin lasts longer

[@misterandroid2238]

SATIN-BLACK ❤ MERCEDES for A45😊 With back SPOILER

[@Vic2Vic]

Matte black screams Batman

[@philipp647]

Who is here in 2023?

[@cornholio777]

Matte black= Stealth black

[@robbird8613]

What up Yianni, just a quick couple of question. Does wroetoshaw have your Rose Gold 458 now? If yes how much was that beast sold for?

[@thelastrebelshow1627]

I'm paint my truck satin black tomorrow. First time I've ever painted a vehicle myself. Did a lot of prep and the body has no dents! Sweeeeeeet!

[@jrod2422ify]

Man I don’t know what to chooooose. LOL. It’s a hard decision in my opinion

[@jamesanderson6940]

If you have super aggressive body work matte black if it’s not as aggressive then satin will look better 💯💯

[@steviecarbone4052]

Great video, Thanks really helped me out!!👍

[@DTTrader79]

Would you recommend putting a ceramic coating on the satin wrap? Or will that mess it up?

[@jonienglish3231]

good Video Make a 3rd Video BRUSHED ALUMINUM BLACK

[@JayMac95]

Great Video! I was thinking about wrapping my car satin black or satin white. I love that its not too shiny nor too dull. Thank you for clarifying the difference😎💪🏾

[@ross5506]

Thanks for the info my Kawasaki 2008 ZX14 special edition is called flat black still unsure what's best to clean it,at almost 10 yrs spit and shine is getting a old now. Any info for a good quick detailer would be at your best interests.

[@3DTyrant]

While I wasn't particularly looking for the difference on cars, this still helped, think I'll go for that satin spray paint. Thanks.

[@TheUnknown-mg8fv]

I've seen rough texture wrapps unlike smooth

[@richardhyde6418]

Have to ask.......and thanks for posting......Keeping it clean/washing.......Do these finishes hold the dirt more. Are they more difficult to get clean than gloss paint jobs. Also scratches and marks......Are thy more noticeable in these finishes.

[@AndrewB23]

Matte black is very dark dull blackish grey, but satin black is deeper richer black, satin black looks so much more sinister. I'm painting my k5 blazer satin black with gloss black accents and blood/maroon interior.

[@cnkilts]

Did you paint your K5 satin black? I am currently thinking of painting my C10 matte black.

[@seanstrickland4970]

Need to do some denim black on my Harley. I hate how manufacturers always need to rebrand their paint.. just use colors everyone else uses, why make it difficult?! Lol

[@kingabh5265]

I have a matte black wrapped bulbar for my g63, it is a lot darker than the matte black in the video??

[@willrc5731]

Amr Bin Hadher Is that a statement or a question?

[@john17467]

Thanks for the video. I think I'll go matte black on my 1991 Toyota Landcruiser FJ80

[@johndboran]

In the States we call that "flat black" instead of matte. At least those of us who paint houses for a living call it that. You've got flat, then eggshell, then semi-gloss, then gloss. I think I'm going to paint the hood on my 2009 Mustang flat black, sorry matte black, instead of the satin. Thanks for educating me....

[@Zenusoid]

Thank you! Your video help me a lot with my work. I working on shader for a car paint and I really don't understand how satin paint job must look!

[@crizwarfare]

What a pro job! Satin black is so sick. I would like to do the same on my guitar; Can I ask you what type of wrapping film did you use? I cannot find any info about it. Thank you!

[@smak387]

3M

[@kingrichee1817]

Yeah I’m gonna wrap my 370z and rims in stain black great differential in colors Analysis 🤔🤨👍

[@richardcrosby6682]

I prefer matte finishes on cars because I really hate it when I get flash blinded by shiny cars during the day. It happens to me a lot when I'm walking or out doing things.

[@delljr2769]

I have a 1973 C10 and I want to have it professionally painted Satin Black with clear coat, anybody have a rough estimate on cost? The body is 98% straight and very little rust.

[@kevinf.5957]

does anybody have experience with painting satin? I would like to paint my car but I'm not sure about the mixing of clear coat to get the satin finish like the example in the video

[@KimiChanJapan]

there is satin paint and satin top coats. you don't wrap. it is paint.

[@nimasala8764]

What brand is that Satin? Anyone knows a good quality or brand for Satin or Matt black?

[@LondonMotorsport]

Wroetoshaw was having his Range Rover Evoque wrapped in Chrome gold and when he took it to Yianni to get the quote, he did a video of the Rose Gold 458 as a joke. Itdoesnt belong to W2S however they just haven't done a video yet confirming it yet. They might not ever clean it up, you just need to stay in the know. Sources: My friend knows W2S and i know Yianni is still diving the 458 so hopefully that cleans up that!

[@rickydeez7251]

I was wondering what happened to you. It's Prince Naseem working the car thing these days, huh?

[@derekparsons3363]

Still can't decide!

[@hydrielpalawan2717]

really? i though the satin black is "Metallic Matte Black" Soo it's called satin black thank you..

[@DutchDukeMan]

matte black makes it look grey, satin looks more like actual matte black imo

[@sabriismail8994]

The owners of G wagons could try camouflage too, I think it would be really nice !

[@curtofatosreais]

Muito obrigado, agora sei ao cert que cor colocarei em meu carro. Now i know thank you!

[@lly_09]

I always used to refer matte black as grand black cus it does look grand with the dull dark look. Yes I like matte more

[@ethanhayward3304]

I like Matte, Looks mean as fuck!

[@MightyMonk360]

Satin has more presence and matte is more of a loner shade that kid who sits alone in the back and the satin is quite comfortable in his skin. There’s different types of people just gotta embrace them all. Sometimes the lone wolf looks cooler because everyone else is the same.

[@walidm8201]

Thanks for the vid Yianni

[@_baller]

Matte isn't too far from satin, flat is that murdered out look

[@milescunha5286]

So matte is when you want to roll up on someone and them not see you well. Satin is when you want to roll up on someone and you want them to know it’s you.

[@joelg5358]

Dear Lord Almighty it's just more dull not more duller! After all there's no such word as duller even spell check won't let me put in duller, without me correcting it.

[@Mik3yLow]

Matte is so much better if you can find one that doesn't degrade the color. Satin is nice for wheels but for a vehicle it just looks like you're trying to stand out. Which just seems counterproductive to me, idk. It's nice for faster cars with curves but a satin black Jeep or truck tells me it's 2wd and they only use it for Starbucks and the grocery store.

[@davidlama1463]

satin all the way

[@hishaamiqbal780]

honestly i dont see the difference but that may be down to me being colour blind.

[@bipinshrestha1039]

I am interested how much $$ for range rover and where you located

[@gassasin3969]

Thanks for the explanation 🙏 Cuz of this I prefer Satin

[@emmanuelr710]

Me too. I literally just switched after the video.

[@alphaindustrialsupply]

Thank you for the video, helped with my selection!

[@SkolVikings22]

Hi , liked ur video 👍 what brand vinyl did you use and recommend?

[@ivancs102]

What type of range rover it's that one?

[@Gabyrock89]

Nice to see Russell Peters for once talk serious. Lol

[@ChrisDan94_]

I got a red 08’ 328i BMW thinking about wrapping it. I just can’t pull the trigger on a good color for it. Matte black and satin are both pretty cool but idk!!

[@kevinf.5957]

does anybody have experience with painting satin? I would like to paint my car but I'm not sure about the mixing of clear coat to get the satin finish like the example in the video

[@kevinf.5957]

Aaron Kahn thanks man, I was just wondering if this finish could be achieved with the normal auto body paints available but I already painted my car 😄

[@kevinf.5957]

Yea I saw one in a picture it looks amazing so I could imagine how good it looks in real....my car is silver and i was thinking about getting a colour like that but i opted for a gloss because easier maintenance

[@Mediamarktfreak]

So is matt black darker then satin? Want my Golf 6 R black but not sure wich one. Looking to make my car the meanest possible

[@TheDimants]

I mean is it jet black satin? Is it charcoal black satin, or maybe some other kind of a black satin? I'll apriciate any info. Thx

[@akuma4u]

I wish they had a black glossier than satin but less than gloss black

[@ShanequaRocks]

Semi gloss

[@maxluck]

Is satin got different gloss level also? Because in this video the satin gloss level is not that obvious compare to veloster turbo young gun color, please advise...

[@marianandnorbert]

this is nice info for electric guitars too (satin black finishes are fucking awesome)

[@007emv]

I'm getting either C43 or C63 coupe what do you guys think of Satin Black for that car? I'm debating between Nardo Grey and that beautiful satin..

[@dgodfrey5322]

there is a matte black 2017 g63 AMG where i live and a 2017 c63 AMG all matte black they look sick

[@gungfuriceboy]

i Like 'DEAD'!!! Matte Black For ME!!...6 Feet 'UNDER'...Thanks!

[@benjones368]

My car is matte black, and everyone says if a bird s**t's on it do I have to clean it straight away?

[@Featherlessbiped19]

Matte always look a bit greyish so I'd prefer the satin which looks more black

[@jeewssam8418]

Matt Black is like Yo I don't fuck around.....Satin Black is like Bawwwlinnn

[@gibbethoskins8621]

Satin looks better, Matte looks terrible when even slightly dirty

[@johnbrown2163]

Imagine a Old Mercury Matte Black with Polished Golden tint Chrome.

[@kujikujinthan3334]

How much will it cost to wrap bmw 4 series convertible in may black.

[@jackiechan_wtf4041]

[@AJ-nf6gf]

[@alexmathews6387]

I need to get my eyes tested :( they both looks almost the same to me

[@milescartwright7231]

[@sarahshort9250]

Satin black love the colour mat black looks hanging

[@ilikelampshades6]

Both look awful. High gloss will always look better

[@hiro6406]

The glossiness of satin makes it look plastic. I think i still prefer the matte black

[@anthonyelizarraraz7010]

Is that 3m satin black or Avery satin black?

[@dritonibrahimi6299]

From which brand is the satin black wrap ?

[@mrschwifty5564]

Satin all the way the matte looks more gray than black compared to the satin black.

[@soydelrancho]

Can you tell me what is the hex color code of the Satin black? Thank you

[@VEXX5]

Matte is the best for me.

[@billyroscoe9982]

I prefer satin but for a g Wagon it’s matte but they are still both very noce

[@gluckhunterjr.9344]

Just ordered satin hellcat wheels. So glad I didn't get matte after seeing this video. Thanks

[@TheDimants]

I like satin better. Does anyone know the exact satin black colour code?

[@GHOST-zy3ji]

I hear the main problem with Matte is hay you can actually see handprints

[@gta5dezza566]
