I would definitely go with gloss black unless you have the chameleon paint somewhere else on the car. If you just do the air box with it, I think it will look out of place.

I like the chameleon idea, But do other things in it, on my old bird i had my intake piping, radiator support(plastic piece with fan), strut towers and some other little odds and ends done and they looked sweet
