Flat black is dull and matte black has a satin sheen/finish, but I don't know if one is blacker than the other.BTW, anything funny happen to you or your family yet?

black is black. Less black is not black but grey. Still working on the difference between flat and matte, altho I believe flat has absolutely zero sheen while matte has just a touch.

Are you serious?
1) Flat black is matte black. No shine.
2) Satin black - 30%-50% shine (best option IMO)
3) Gloss black - full shine and light reflection
Altough I think gloss black looks best, satin is more practical when it comes to keeping the wheels clean. The car on the pic above has satin black wheels as you can see a blurred reflecion of the sunlight.
