Satin looks much better IMO.

Black.

CSanto · 01-22-2013, 02:06 PM

is satin a semi-gloss? If it is go Satin, Do 50% gloss or something like that. Much nicer than matte finish.

I powder-coated mine gloss black. I posted before/after pics here.

I went with satin will be done tomorrow

I went with gloss black. Satin is not bad either.

Hyper black looks horrible.

M3 Esq. · 01-23-2013, 10:43 PM

I like the polished finish on those. I wouldn't change it. However if you must I prefer satin black to gloss.

Cool! Post pics after wheels are painted and exhaust is installed. I wanted to do satin and it was recommended to go with gloss because they are easier to clean.

My matte rims hide the brake dust!

BLACK OPS · 01-26-2013, 04:28 AM

I've thought about this on my jet black. I think satin would look best unless you're going for the complete blacked out look then it doesn't matter.

Lets see the pics bro on you ride
