They get handled around so much that a durable finish is almost a must if you want it to look good for a loong time. The coater I use has a finish that is like 65% gloss and is perfect for these types of parts. MB

I really like the SEM trim paint but didn't think there was enough gloss to match the correct finish. B5 Challenger T/A
