Mugen Splitter Paint HELP
Thinking of two options on painting the Mugen splitter.
1) Satin Black
2) Gloss/Berlina Black.
The reason for doing satin is that when I eventually crack it or it takes a hit or whatever it won't look so bad.
The reason for doing Berlina or gloss is that my wheels are gloss black, my wing is gloss/CF black (I may paint the wing Berlina) and my hardtop will be Berlina/gloss black.
Basically I would like to do satin for practicality and Berlina/gloss for looks. Anyone thing satin will look bad?

I painted mine flat black and then had it repainted low gloss black and both looked good
I dont think any will look bad but the satin maybe easier to touch up from rock chips and stuff.

I made my suggestion based on the look of your car.

if ur going to have a black splitter, keep a matte finish. gloss/shiny black on a non-black car just looks like it was tacked on haphazardly... with the exception of a hardtop.
