Default Painting the plastic/fiberglass Brace between the fascia & radiator support

I have seen some old threads on this but really haven't seen enough..Did U guys use gloss paint for that plastic piece or flat black?? I am painting the headlight bracket supports also. It seems most of the stuff is flat, I don't want glossy & flat & have it look stupid. My car is arctic white, so all the rest of the stuff is white(flat). Thanks

Painted my gloss black (car is black). Looked fine but never really liked it. Went hydro-dip in the second effort....much better.

IDK what your situation is OP but I gotta do something to mine cause where it was black at one point in time is now gray looking and it kills me when I pop the hood to even do something as simple as an oil change.

I vote to match your exterior paint. It just leaves a cleaner, smoother look overall. But that's just my $.02...and also what I did to both my Firebird and my Trans Am.

I redid the white on the rad suport, then redid with semigloss black, buckets, brakets, hardware. Looks good but I'm going with JAAM Ram air kit eventually. Then the work will really pay off.
