Gloss or Matt Black, That is the Question
I'm looking to change my side grilles, centre of the front grille and also changing all the lettering from silver to black, what's the general consensus Gloss or Matt?

Satin
best of both worlds
try masking the "grill" and painting the surround rather than the whole thing as well Transit! 2019

i'm contemplating stealing some of my son's "Perfect Black" paint and filling in the letters in the side grilles .... hope it's easier in real life than Photoshop ... I gave up

When Land Rover do "black pack" its always gloss black.
Remember paintwork looks duller when dirty.
Therefore Gloss would look like Satin & Satin would look like Matt .... until you wash it again.
With wheels, this is amplified with brake dust.
Gone Gloss black on all my bits....... always on the road less travelled 🚧
