I second that vote. I think flat will look nice with your color car.

on the CETA cars, the bumper wasn't painted, so all you saw was flat black urethane. so to replicate it properly flat black is my vote.

nearly any car that has a black rear valence is flat black, be it Lambos, Cobras, Porsches, Vettes.. it just looks right.

the people that have done this mod what do you guys put over the paint?

i dont want it to start to peel or get scratched and whatnot

and could i have it cleared (like the rest of the car) over the semi-gloss and still give it the same look?

i want to do this thing one time and one time only lol not have to respray it every year lol

nope, and I powerwash my cars,

I used degreaser prep wipes, then adhesion promoter spray primer, then flat black trim paint. lasted a good year for my last car until I sold it, and I washed it about once or twice every two weeks.

helped a friend of mine do it with the same precedure and his has looked good for about three years strong now...
