Default Ceta: Gloss Black Or Flat Black On Red Trans Am

I have a red 99 trans am, and am looking to do the CETA on the back of my car. Should I do it in flat black, or gloss black? Any pictures would be helpfull.

I think flat black gives a distinctive look, so my vote is for flat black.

Good thing I saw this thread. I was about to post the same poll. Man, it's still looking pretty close. Trying to decide which way to go on mine. Personally, I'm leaning towards gloss since my decals are all gloss black...hmmmm

flat flat flat, if you paint it right it looks flat in some lights and somewhat glossy in other lights!




I'll get some more pics where it looks glossy

Yea, I think I like the gloss, only because I am going to get a Corsa exhaust and think it would reflect better with the gloss black, look nicer back there...idk, more opinions are encouraged...

GLOSS GLOSS GLOSS all day long. I was on the fence myself and went gloss black, and I wouldnt have it any other way. I'd be very unhappy if I went flat black. The gloss just compliments the taillights so nicely.

Do flat black on your car.. I think it would look subtle and really good.

I would only do black, I would not do yellow, too much I think. People have done it themselves, but when u are mechanically challeneged like myself, you pay other people to do the work...

I think unless you go with dumps or ugly exhaust tips u should always go gloss for the reflection factor. But either way, you wont be dissappointed in the look.
