I don't think I want a full matte but would prefer something in the middle. I'm not sure if that would be Satin or not. What finish did you decide on for 261 Wheels? Any Pics?
These are my 261's with satin black finish. I was also not sure which color to go with, but knew I didn't want matte. I am glad I went with the satin because gloss would had been just a little too flashy. The Satin goes really well with the black trim pieces and catches just enough light to make them pop.

There is no need to clear coat with powder coating, it would just be a waste of money IMO.
