in another thread, somebody with an actual CETA said that it is not painted, the bumper itself is really just black. so im assuming in person it looks like a flat/satin type color. but i've never seen one up close so i cant say for sure.

silver is a color, like pewter, that i think will look great in either satin or gloss black. i'd recommend what i personally used and loved- dupli-color AUTO touch up paint-universal black. i used this for my CETA mod and it looks great.

I'm voting flat, it's not some much look at my black spot...

well i'm taking it next week on thursday to get it sprayed for 75 bucks gloss black, because i am horrible with paint and taping it off.

the taping off was the hardest part. but if you take your time with the whole process (taping, prepping, painting, etc...) its not that bad. but for $75 i'd probably do the same. i didnt even check prices when i did mine

good choice going gloss! Flat black looks cheap! IMO

LT1-Camo · 10-31-2009, 01:20 AM

gloss is good, flat looks unfinished

pir7tr · 10-31-2009, 01:30 AM

Flat does look a little too cheap. Satin black looks best IMO. It has just enough sheen to it.

I just did mine in gloss black a couple weeks ago.

I'm far from an expert with paint work but I followed a guide on here and did it myself for less than $15. If you're willing to be patient with masking it off it really is easy to do yourself for chap.

^ that should be all the reason you need to go with gloss. looks great skopers3

you speak the truth.

Another vote for gloss. And +1 for taking your time to mask it off.

1994formulalt1 · 10-31-2009, 02:42 PM

wow those pics from scira and skopers3 make me very happy with choosing gloss black. I'll post up some pictures next friday when it is done

Here's my flat black for comparison...

Carlos01SS · 10-31-2009, 03:02 PM

I'd say gloss black simply because it's easier to clean and you can wax it .

total opposite.... the flat doesn't show/reflect dirt. No need to wax it. You just wipe it with a damp cloth and it's clean

well satin is just the best in my opinion for dirt and i did mine myself, and iv seen it every way this just liked the best w my blk rims...gloss will look fine tho
