Should I paint my lip in flat black or gloss?

[adeelpowers]

It's red right now and need to paint it to match the car. My grills and foglight deletes are gloss and Im thinking of painting them flat black tomorrow and having a flat black lip? That or paint the lip gloss black as well as the whole bottom area gloss also?

Suggestions?

As it looks now:



Also, I have euro grills now :D

Duplicolour graphite, to match your wheels. Would give it an E34 M5 look.

Like KARR from Knight Rider? Awesome.


Actually, Im thinking of getting rid of those rims and going back to a classic look with the weaves. Euroweaves would be perfect on this car...

I thought Knightrider's car was named KITT?

color match your valence and lip to the rest of the car.

Yeah. KARR was the evil one that always lived on and did stuff that KITT didn't do, (death and destruction.)

I loved that show.

And I'd say color match it all. Do it right the first time.

+1.... or do the lip and the grills w/ trim paint

i think gloss would look a lot better.

im going with the flat black for the grills/foglight deletes/lip. The reason being that the bottom portion of the car is flat black so when I eventually respray the whole car, i'll color match it all. As for now, the whole bottom area will be flat black.

BITCHES, KARR was Knight Automated Roving Robot, the predecessor to KITT, Knight Industries Two-Thousand. Bitches, he had a yellow light thingie and KITT had a red one.

^^ well, EVERYONE knew that...

wow, some guys are morons here. I pointed out KARR since he had the grey lip and skirts.

I did mine with many coats of SEM paint, pretty happy with it. It's a nice "satin" finish.
