new paintjob flat black vs dark gray

I'm gonna paint my OB sedan in the sprong. I've narrowed it down to 2 colors. Matte black with gloss black accents or smokey granite mica (dark gray from lexus) also with gloss black accents

Yea i think so too cuz im not gonna paint the jams too expensive. I dont plan on reselling the car so i dont mind killing the value. Gloss black jams on a dark gray car that has black roof, rims, window trim, tails and grilles wouldnt look bad. Gloss black jams on a flat black car thats a different story imo

If I did flat black, I'd do a vinyl job so it's reversible. Not for resale but when it goes out of style

Dark gray. Flat black is getting too overly used
