Title: Matte black Badge
Post by: arj7 on 06 March 2013, 15:41: Hi guys Im after a matte black badge for my golf.

I see I wanted it matte black for the front and back.

Do you think it wouldn't look good, gloss the better option?

Definitely mate, loads more subtle! I think that the matte would look like you've still gotta paint it, only my opinion mate.

Agree, matt black looks 'unfinished'. Gloss much better. Saw a SEAT with an matt black wrap yesterday and it looked awful (imo)
