Satin is in fact very tricky. Whatever comes out of the gun is what you're left with as you can't cut and buff it. You can either go with a flat single stage or run a standard base coat with a flat clear. The clear will give you better protection against the elements but as stated earlier you can't polish it or even rub it too hard when you wax it. I've had a flat clear on my Harley for about 4 years now and it's still holding up great. The bike has a nice satin finish to it and wax brings it up nicely without turning it to gloss.
