e90 M-sport diffuser paint jobs

hey guys, so i've pretty much ditched the idea of the e90 performance diffuser so it's sitting in the classifieds right now. However, came up with a new idea of just to paint the stock m-sport diffuser. I just got my tints done last week so the stock grey diffuser isn't cutting it.

Options: Either a semi-gloss or a full gloss black..

the car is alpine white btw, all opinions are welcome

go gloss black! if you want to see an example, look at some of "PandaBear"s pics, he has an AW e92 with a gloss black diffuser

hope that helps!
