what color manta?

I have a soon to be silver SS and i want to have a manta stripe added while the car is being painted.OK question is what color gloss or flat black? the flat would be a lot easier to keep up (less swirls and such). what do y'all think?

Flat would only look good on a black car IMHO. I say you go for the painted gloss black manta.

Painted gloss black is the only way to go.
