I prefer the Matt look. Gloss just looks too OTT and in your face where as the Matt finish just looks smart and subtle.

Matt

Gloss looks cheap and nasty, also doesnt blend in with the rest of the interior.

From Matt (MS69) on the .org site...he's sold out now but it might be worth PM'ing him if you want to set up a group buy?

Matt, because it's the way its meant to look. Though, if that's just a bare epoxy finish then it may get a bit fucked by sunlight...
