For all you TA's who have painted between your tailpipes (black)... I can't tell from the pics I've seen if they are shiny or flat black, or something in between. :dunno:

Speak up guys! :notworthy:

I like Satin myself, but some like the gloss.

If you decide to paint your bumper on your car I would like to see pics, I also have a Pewter car and am curious to see how it looks.--Tony

Same here. I would definately rule out matte finishes, just too dull. But do the CE's all come with satin finishes?

So far, (I have a pewter TA,) and I'm thinking semi gloss or satin. Not sure which tho. The pics of that pewter car linked aboved look pretty glossy to me. Perhaps a semi gloss would be good.
