Howzabout "Dark Matter"?

The "Mother in Law".........Dark as the look she sends me when I make a joke at family dinner.

As for the coverage....That 9 x 9 would be eaten up quickly. especially with that majority of military vehicles be very angular. Have to take out a mortgage to paint a Deuce.

Don't waste your time or money. Flattening paint is pretty much just a matter of additives that disrupt the surface finish, essentially making the top layer slightly rough and porous. Once you go beyond the normal "flat" finish and begin getting into the velvet look, your paint will have no durability left and the slightest touch will create obvious "scuff" marks. Not to mention how easily it will capture dirt and simply cleaning it will mess up the consistency of the finish.
Trust me, if you go beyond flat or even beyond satin you'll regret it in the long run. And no level of blackness or flatness is going to make your truck disappear at night so don't bother trying. It will look cool for 1/2 a day then look terrible in a month, unless you store it indoors in a plastic bubble. ( and make sure you don't let the bubble touch the surface when you stick the truck in it! ) and you won't have any money left over to repaint it a month later.

Yep, and Satin finishes are weak as well. I had my floors at home refinished several years ago. Stained, then clear coated. The clear coat suggested was a Matte or Satin finish. I didn't know any better... I took their recommendation. In just a few years, I could start to see wear patterns on the floors. Not awful, but noticeable.

Yeah, like @Ray70 suggested - the more "Satin" the finish - the less it lasts!
