Re: Satin black mix ratio
you can mix them but i don't know the ratio. For a flat color it's about 1:1

Re: Satin black mix ratio
I change the ratio depending on what I,m painting. Molded black plastic parts or leather interiors on real cars are more shiny than, say, semi gloss paint on a car. For black plastic I mix about 2/3 gloss black with 1/3 flat black. If I want to simulate black paint, I use about 1/2 and 1/2. If you mix the gloss level on interiors or engine bays that have a lot of semi gloss black, it makes it more interesting to the eye.
