lol. Another reason for a first time bike painter(myself) not to paint a bike flat.

Still, flat hides a LOT of flaws.

Anyone can close their eyes and call it good.

I open my eyes and accept somewhat less than perfect.

Me too, but given the choice I'll paint matte so my mistakes don't stick out quite so much.  The Monster Dark was made for people like me. 

Then again, I don't do this for a living.  I've always been more into a solid foundation than finish work.  My machines all run well but look a bit scruffy.  I find I get better at finish work the older I get, maybe I just have more patience than I used to.
