painting my front bumper
i just painted my front bumper and i want to paint the part where the headlights are black like it was. i was just wondering if it was gloss black, flat black, semi-gloss or what? I used Dupont Single-stage urethane paint.

Personally....I think satin-black looks the best. Some people like the gloss look..but to me....it just kind of looks "cheaper"......but....from factory...they came satin-black...(semi-gloss)

I agree. Use the flat black to get that nice satin finish. The gloss looks to cheap. Unless the rest of your car shines like crazy, go with the flat black, or maybe even the semi-gloss will do.
