Matt/satin finish never looks as good. The surface finish 'sheens-out' and just looks dark grey/dirty. You need the gloss for bling and definition. Consequently the black looks darker/blackerDownside is keeping the buggers clean and shiny
Good job I'm a sucker for punishment !

Si, yes I've come to that conclusion too..the 437Ms are normally diamond cut and gloss black but these came in satin black..nice finish but as you say they just look 'flat'..given where possible on the car any other blacks are gloss then you're right its the only way to go..![]()
If you can kindly tag along to all the runs I'm on you can polish mine as required!!!![]()
