Default Help me make up my mind.

I'm debating on repainting my ceta mod matte black. It's professionally painted now gloss now by the p/o but I can't tell if it's a very dark grey or black. The top and any other accents on the car are all matte. What do you think?

Thank you, I would match the interior on yours instead of going white because it's going to be constantly dirty.

I think the gloss matches the gloss black on the taillights so I wouldn't change it.

not sure what other accents are matte but I would change those to gloss to match the ceta, although not much you can do about the top

I did not know that. I had my car out yesterday and after looking at it I decided not to make a headache for myself and I'm going to leave it alone, maybe I had a momentary brain fart LOL.

The way it looks on my computer screen, it doesn't look gloss black at all but matte! Also, unless the sun is hitting it a certain way, it does look like a dark grey but my screen color and brightness settings could also be playing a role in what I am seeing.

It really doesn't look bad at all with the indentation not painted, it gives some texture and helps to visually break up the colors. This is really a styling issue of whether you like it or not.

Grab a can of black matte plasti-dip and paint it, if you don't like it then just peel it right off. This way you will know for sure exactly what it looks like on your car and if you like it or not.
