satin looks best i think

full gloss looks a bit bling

it doesnt really matter, within months it will be chipped and covered in a multitude of fluid leaks!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

The subframes were painted "chassis black". A semi gloss very hard black paint and sold as named from all good motor factors in the day.
