I think his wording was fine lol If he meant he had a grey Nova he'd have said:
"Thinking of spraying my grey mk2 sr's bumpers nova gsi black"

Depends what colour the car is as to whether shiny black bumpers looks good IMO.

The car is red. I want it to have black bumpers, I just don't know what black to go for.

Ford Panther Black is nice. Pretty dark & shiny. I wouldnt do satin, unless the car is a dog, bit of an industrial finish.

:( lol satin makes you go faster ;)

To elaborate, if its a car for the road or show then use a gloss finish, if for track or similar (or track look) use satin, easier to touch up as well.

pmsl, agreed. I did my bumper in satin, but thats because I was too lazy/cheap to get them painted properly.
