Default painting my wing and side scoops gloss or flat black?

which kinda black would look better? and could this be done just by me? if i get the paint and clear coat. or would it be too risky? i have a paint gun and air compresser.

Try it your self. It could be expensive if you make a mistake but IMO your better to make a mistake on some thingsthan to never know if you could do it or not.

don't do it at all. it won't look good with all your tan and chrome wheels. ive actually seen a silver V6 with black painted hood/sidescoop and it looked like ***. the hood scoop wasn't bad but the sidescoops just look like you got them off another car and never got them painted.

What makes you think that would go with your car at all? It would look like frankenstein!

you have a tan top in your sig lol.

and in that case, i would go flat black.......on the hoodscoop only. leave the sidescoops white. then get the flat black hood vinyl and rear trunklid blackout panel.
