On white, nothing but gloss. Flat is usually looks best on dark cars.

ya i agree... black bird stripes are badass. I have only seen one white car with them and it was pretty tough looking. Where is the best place to buy blackbird stripes?

On white always gloss. Flat looks better on darker colors.
