im in the midst of doing the whistler mod right now, what kind of black should i use, flat, satin, or gloss????

 

I think gloss looks the best

 

ok, i ended up doing flat black, hopefully i like it, if not then gloss it is...

 

i went with satin. i prefer it much more then gloss. click the link in my sig titled pics and you'll see mine

 

i say semi gloss or satin.
mine are semi gloss.

 

rule of thumb, IMO, stay away from flat for pretty much anything appearance related. flat just looks unfinished/faded/not well-kept up...

the black i used was Dupli-colors Auto black paint. which is meant to have a glossy finish like a stock paint job when wetanded/buffed, but right out of the can it has a semi-gloss finish. i really like the way it came out. i'd definitely recommend using either satin, semi-gloss, or gloss paint (anything but flat) semi-gloss and gloss look the best, IMO, because they have the deepest black look to them, and for this mod, i think that works best

well i ended up doing dupli color flat black, and it came out pretty good, it's almost like a satin black... i think it came out very good, im in the middle of wet sanding the head lights and going to get a friend to help me buff them, im still learning how to buff and stuff... ill post up pics this friday after this is all done and a nice wash clay bar and wax.
