Semi Gloss or Satin paint for Undercarriage?
Should I use semi gloss or satin black paint on my undercarriage?

I used satin black and got pulled over and ticketed. Stick with semi gloss.

It is your choice, but less gloss hides imperfections better.

Why'd you get ticketed for your undercarriage paint color? I don't get that

Shouldn't matter, gloss will look sharper. Matt will be more unnoticed

Seriously, did you get a ticket for the paint choice on your underbody or was there another reason?

He was pulled over for smoking pot but couldn't remember why he was pulled over. The paint story is simply a ruse.

How about Eggshell?
Quote:
Eggshell
A finish 1/2 way between satin and semi-gloss with a noticeable gloss and sheen. Washable, sometimes scrubbable, but may show surface imperfections. Reflacts light noticeably.

Best uses for eggshell wall paint: Kitchens, Bathrooms, Laundry Rooms, Mud Rooms, Trim Work

Painting your undercarriage eggshell is a surefire way to get put on the terrorist watchlist. Just sayin'.

I say your choice on which type to use. I've even used gloss a lot but it won't stay shiny for long after driving once it gets dirty.

I would look for something specifically designed for rust, adding non-rust targeted paints can sometimes mask rust rather than prevent. POR15 is good for treating rust, something else if the underbody is largely rust free may work.
Rust can work underneath a paint coating without any outside visible signs.

Hahahaha! Thanks for the interesting replies. I will just go with the semi gloss because I already have some and would have to buy satin.
