    you will get 4 different schools of thought

    shiny
    matt
    colour coded
    stock

    and lots of opinions.

    i went looking for stock with mine, because thats what i wanted, it is sort of satin & that is fine for me.

    Matt is an overused phrase & really is very rough & doesnt showcase any colours well at all, not to mention it will grind bits off your sponge when you wash them.

    Using a satin finish will be best IMO. Depending how far the paint nozzle is from the bumpers, you can get a 'dryer' looking finish if the paint partially dries when it has further to land on the panel being painted.

    im doing my transit wheels satin black as matt looks poop and gloss is too shiney so satin is a happy medium.
