Default Matte Black or Black with Gloss...?

Going to Autozone today to get my paint and still am not 100% on if I want to go with a a Regular Gloss Black or Matte Black.... this decides what color my spoiler will be as well. Any input would be appreciated.... I am leaning towards Matte black by 75-80% but there is still doubt in there I don't know why there would be I saw a beatiful White/Mattle Black Accent Stang at the LA Auto show and drooled on it for 5-10 minutes with the sorest feet of my life (Was the last area we visited i was tired and sore haha) but It was worth it I think i just need some community opinions to seal the deal. So post away =)

Are you just painting your spoiler or the whole car?
I went with gloss black accents on my Vista Blue 07 GT.

matte black is going to be a PIA to keep clean, but i think its the best way to go on your color car.

depends on your rims... if your rims are glossy (painted) then gloss. if you are going with a matte black finish on rim interior then go matte black. i think you need to have some consistency...

I went with gloss black on my hood, center of chin, between tails and rear spoiler.



Similar to the Steeda:

^^^ that right there is sexy. Make it like that so gloss I guess. But you are painting your spoiler with an aerosol can?
