You should post some pictures of it in its current state.

My vote goes to gloss though. Matte finishes look like primer to me most the time. Hard to pull off.

I'd do Gunmetal grey in gloss I think

Neither. Both are played out.

Roidz

^^I agree, but I went with gloss since those were the only options.

Depends on the color and what its on. But Matte

Wow, now that could be hot...

J/K, matte always gets the nod in my book.

Gloss, but a gloss finish to semigloss paper IMO. Too glossy and it will look like ****, and too dull looks rice.

Roidz

That

I voted for matte black, but whichever you decide to choose, post pics when done.

TrickWilliams

Yep that's all I care about

Well the wheels were painted yesterday, I asked for matte but halfway through he kind of convinced me to stick with more of a semi-gloss, which I think looked a lot better.
Unfortunately the paint job didn't come out so great so I'm going to try get it re-done.
I'll post pics when I'm happy with it.

Who cares about the op's paint blunder, you got the look down, man!

My 8 is just like yourz except for the wheels ( I Like both).

Mine are Enkei GF-1 18 x7.5 38 offset (15 spoke also).

May I ask your wheel specs?

legine

sorry guys havent put any pics up yet. Wheels look good now, blue wheel nuts are on order
I think they look too shiny in these photos but they look great up close and personal. Been pulled over twice for no reason since theyve been painted (bloody p-plate )
Hope you guys like!

Cheers, Daniel
