Matte black or glossy black? Which color is best for diffusor on TIAG rear bumper?
Hi,
I am going to paint on diffusor, but I can't decide which color is better for TIAG (titanium silver) rear bumper: matte black or glossy black. Some people recommend glossy black, but my favorite body shop recommends matte black. What do you guys think which one is best for it? Let me know and I will be grateful if you guys share some photos |

Semi-Gloss is my vote also, I did mine Semi and it looks great!

If it was up to me I would try to match it to the trim on my car. If you have the shadowline trim/gloss black kidney grille then I would go gloss black; if not then I would do matte. Just try to make sure that it goes with your car, nothing worse then having one piece stand out and look odd.

I don't remember exactly, but I believe my rims are satin black and it does not look like semi-gloss. I should consider it |

Match what you have because either way looks great. I have a TiAg as well and went gloss on my mtech rear only because I got my roof, window trim, and mirrors wrapped with gloss black vinyl and installed gloss kidneys.
