    Default Painting my grille, MATTE OF GLOSS is the question

    Im torn right now as to whether i should get my grille painted matte or satin black or if i should get it done in gloss. My truck is a 07 rrs .. black of course. I plan on doing my wheel in a matte black soon but would the grille in matte just throw everything off in the mean time. Lets hear some opinions!

    matte black looks like dog sh@t. there i said it. ups trucks come with matte black wheels stock.

    do a gloss and semi-gloss combo paint.

    I did matte black grills on my white 07 RR along with matte black emblems and I like the way it turned i think the contrast is pretty cool with the gloss white.matte grill.jpg
