+1 I am doing the same when I get my car back from the shop. I have all matte now and I think it needs a little something else. I am going to gloss vinyl the parts you painted so I can take it off if I don't like it.

i knew i forgot something yesterday didn't take any snaps! gets too dark after work for me to get any half decent shots but will upload soon. I'm loving the look of Matte though give it the evil look even though i wanted classy.

Gloss, remember paint up front is subject to chipping from stones and such. GL

I know for a fact the paint will get a chip sooner or later but for a £10 mod from a body shop of a friend it was well worth doing. I'll go for Gloss next time.
