Default Flat Black or Glossy Black?

That is the question. I really like the look of primer cars it has that "Im not afraid to get dirty look. But when I see a nice Glossy paint job I also like that look.

What do you guys like?

Currently my daily driver has a few different shades of black and looks like crap.

I think the flat black is a fad that you'll regret in a few years. Gloss black has been popular since Henry pushed the first T off the line 100+ years ago.

Do a two-tone same as mine with gloss black over flat black. then maybe some sort of custom pin striping to break up the two colors.
