    Flat Black Or Gloss Black

    Hey guys, I know that I have not obeyed the rules as of yet, in regards to photos etc, but I like to tinker somewhat and make things as close to what I aim for before posting pics.

    Anyway, we will rectify that tomorrow.

    Asking your advice, getting new 245/75/16 Cooper STTs fitted tomorrow and am going to paint the wheels in the arvo. My question is, which black to use? It is a white Disco, black ARB bar, dark tint etc. I was thinking of Flat Black, as Stooge's wheels came up looking good. But open for suggestions. Oh yeah, they are stock Disco 1 steelies.

    Thanks fella's.

    Brett

    EDIT: Thanks LADIES and fella's.

    I was going to suggest satin as well. That way you keep both camps happy . I used satin on the bonnet of my RRC.
