Daily use flat/matte black tool box pic request

[Yesmar]

Hey guys, long time lurker finally just joined today.

I'm a mechanic at a used car lot.

I am getting a new tool box soon and our snap on guy is giving me a real good deal on a new box because it's on his truck. It's flat black with gloss black trim and drawer pulls. I absolutely fell in love with it when I saw it.

Now my issue is how will it hold up against 55hour+ a week abuse(the color, not the actual box lol). When I think of matte black I think of, leaving finger prints even when my hands are clean let alone the remaining 95% of my time at the shop.

So I am requesting pics of any flat black boxes you guys might have. I have been searching for pics for a while but only seem to come up with what appear to be brand new just off the truck pics.
Any tips you guys have for cleaning them? We have a blue snappy box at work and that seems to stay fairly neat, and I currently have a gloss black one and it doesn't look to hateful either. They both clean up nice and easy thanks to the clear coat
Im just wondering if flat black may be more of a weekend warrior color. Please HALP, I've been sitting on this for weeks and I'm eager to pull the trigger!
Thanks guys
-Ramsey

The flat black boxes are clear coated. It's just not a gloss clear, it has a flattening agent in the top coat. It will clean up just fine. Keith

Thank you for the quick response Keith that makes me feel better, I'll have to take a closer look this week.
I also realize there is a more appropriate sub forum to put this in :/

I know a guy that works at a small indie shop that has one in flat black, either he constantly cleans his or it holds up well. I was never crazy about the flat look for a box I was spending big $$$ on but that's just me.
