Semi gloss to match the berger panel on my car as well as the stripes. I did them myself with spray paint. I prepped them very well and they are holding great after 5 months. The paint is flawless.

the actual cost of the materials is likely the smaller part of what you're getting, what you're mainly paying for is the labor
Damn, you had to ruin my fun didn't you?

Either way I'm going to have them powder coated so I'll have to stop and and see how much they will charge. I never thought about them charging more because of more labor but it makes perfect sense.
