Gloss would be easier to clean and stay cleaner. But what you have now looks good (it’s hard to see the texture in the pic).

True, hadn't thought of that... Then again you've seen my Jeep, is it ever really clean? I still haven't even wiped all the SMORR off of it yet. :cheesy:

Cant tell in the pictures, but yellow is hard to color match with sun fade etc, if its not going to be the same color I would leave it flat. imo itll look better intended to be flat then intended to be a perfect match to hood and not quite right.

Some of my same thoughts.

Thanks!

Looks like flat is winning the poll so far!

Did some work today:

Ended up doubling down with the matte finish and put a few coats of this on top:

Hopefully it holds up alright.

Some more in direct sunlight to show finish:

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

Thanks! Now I can stop being jealous of all the other louvered hoods LOL

Nice work! I wasn’t sure how well the Matte would’ve looked but I really like he way it turned out!

Dang, why couldn’t you have had that in last weekend! I want to see it in person. Looks awesome from the pics.

If I get one, I’m going to keep it raw.

What can I say, I'm a procrastinator through and through. You'll just have to come out to SMORR again! Raw wouldn't be a bad choice; the paint easily doubled the time spent on it.
