Yeah if you go with gloss it looks cheap and I did flat and it looked really good for a few weeks. Semi is the way to go.

i shaved the camaro and the key hole on mine but dont have any pictures right at the moment. Paint it the same color as your car (not black unless your car is black) and Paint it gloss, flat and semi gloss just look out of place IMO.

reggie warren you're kind of missing the point here the "berger" panel is generally a black filler panel as opposed to body color. Also to the op Satin/semi gloss is going to be the best way to go to get the look you're after and will hold up better than flat black. The flat does look nice but is a bitch to maintain...I had an old dodge dart done all flat black and after that experience I wouldn't recommend going flat black even on a piece as small as the filler panel. Good luck with it. Post pics when its done

I guess i did miss the point lol, i was thinking thats what the panel was called, but its just a "mod." But i think i summed it up that i dont like the look of it, just my opinion.
