Default Need quick opinions

I bought a camaro tail pannel from a salvaged camaro and I just gave it to the body shop to paint black. I told him to do it in gloss black (Exactly like like the berger but gloss). So I was thinkin it over and should I have it painted gloss black like I said or call him up and change it to the satin black color?

I'm working to make this a show car (but is also my daily car), so please tell me what you think will look best; my car is pewter. Also I'm gonna get chrome fill-ins for the tail-pannel.

I have seen the rear panle on a Camaro done in all three levels of sheen, they all look fantastic!

The Berger is flat black, have to worry about getting wax on it!

My Red SS is semi-gloss, looks good and is different to the Berger.

The high gloss will look fantastic, and look very finished, people have commented on the flat black as being unfinished looking.

People have been askin for pix of: My pewter and black interior, tint, blue calpiers <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> , tail pannel, and the entire car <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> .

I know for sure I'll have them up by next week ASAP because I wanna take pics of my first car show I'll be entered in. Not as big as the super chevy at 66 we have down here, but still pretty big.
