Gloss black or matte black ?

Which color do you guys prefer for head light housing ?

gloss black or matte black

My car is OB and can't decide which one I should go with.
I'm leaning towards gloss black but is that ODing since my body color is black ?

If you dont want to do gloss black, why not try Satin Black? Satin Black is a litter glossier than Matte

Are you going to have some accent color or are you trying to black everything out? A combination of black and silver/graphite/gunmetal looks great in the lights depending on your rims and what look you are trying to go for overall.

my grill is stock. I might paint this grill in gloss black and leave Mt.Fuji in chrome.
My theme isn't blacking out everything. I want a nice mixture of chrome & black.
As you can see in the pic, my CV2s are machined matte black finish. it's a nice mixture of black and silver. I rather leave the window chrome trim to blance it out.


Head light, I do not want to paint the shroud. I'm going to leave them in chrome as is and just paint the housing. I really need to see painted housing in person to figure it out.

gloss or satin black will go well with your gloss black grill.
