Satin would be a nice offset. But I don't know. Why not paint one side gloss and one side satin. See which one you like and then paint the losing side.

Pardon the dirt on my car, I'll be washing it when my Adam's shipment arrives.
I just did my bowties in flat black and they were really easy.
Tried working on my RS badges but that was epic-fail. Anyone have tips?
Also wanting to do the bowties on the wheels when it warms up.

What color are those blackouts on your bowties?
Gloss or Flat black?
