Color advice for Roof/diffuser/wheels/badges Gloss vs Satin

[Nix]

Hi guys!! Found a nice liquid yellow 197 for my hubby and we are going get the roof, wheels, diffuser, grills, handles and badges sprayed black at a local body shop but i want your guys opinions on if we should use gloss black or satin black, or a mix of both for different parts?
thanks guys

Me personally, I'd leave the roof as it is, do the grills satin and everything else you've listed gloss.

Don't mix gloss and satin. If it's satin you go for, make sure it's a good quality. Looks gash if it wears down to a dull grey.

is this gloss or satin?

That's satin,

But please leave it as is.

If you must, spray the plastics satin black. Leave the wheels and roof as they are.

All in my opinion of course.



...but please dont

I agree with Knuckles... Found this on Google, doesn't really do it for me. Spray the grills but leave everything else, that's my opinion.

Iirc that's the replica. It's a 1.2 tce



Op, there's a half resprayed 197 on eBay with a silver roof. That wouldn't be such a sin to spray it's roof black.

Yeah keep it stock and standard. And when you go to a meet, try not to fall asleep while you count all the cars that look exactly like yours. If you do satin to a good standard nobody will say a bad word about it.

Who goes to meets to look at cars?
