I'm deciding between black and flat black d- windows. Anyone have pics of them on your rig?

gloss black looks better IMO. The flat shows every single mark on it and it ends up looking like crap. The gloss can get dirty and ends up having a flat look.

If you're in the mud a lot and aren't a big fan of cleaning your rig afterwards, the gloss will turn to flat quickly. I think the flat is easier to touch up with a rattle can. If you don't go in the mud and won't scratch them up too badly on rocks, I like the gloss.

somehow lost my good pictures of them. but I painted mine with satin rustoleum (inbetween flat and gloss). I like it, been on there a year with no problems
flat never comes out the way I want it too. satin is my vote

Bump. They're both powder coated from the manufacturer. I'm learning more towards shiny black. Anyone else have any pictures of them on your rig?

These have been powder coated gloss black. 4 years and no flakes just some rock rash.
