Flat black or gloss black exhaust tips?

[dzchey21]

Im painting my exhaust and tips black, should i go with flat or gloss black? Im thinking like semi gloss would look good but gloss might look good too. what ya'll think?

I think that flat black would look best

+1 on flat black

yeah im thinking that gloss is going to look funny. I guess i can always change it if i dont like it. I was also thinking of masking off just the rolled edge of the tip so its still polished stainless and the rest be black.

i just went out and sprayed one tip with low gloss engine paint and its too shiny still, so i think im going to use grill and stove paint when i finnally get around to doing it.

Wont the paint burn off?

When your in warp speed the soot only sticks to the bumper but yes about the last 1/2" of the tip is black... part of the reason why i want to paint them...
