I used plasti-dip to do it but you get an idea for black on dg.

Id say with a black roof keep the theme going... Gloss black I think will look best. Id also paint your grill and rear diffuser though.

Personally I always liked the oem hyper silver, I'd never paint/plastidip/powdercoat them but since you asked, I'd do something other than black, maybe a gunmetal finish if anything.

Semi Gloss is, well, between gloss and matte black. The reason I prefer semi gloss on everything I had done was because on Gloss Black you can see finer scratches more and dings. Semi Gloss holds up well from what I've seen. Think of Gloss Black as like when you have a black car and you get swirls on it from washing it with rags. That's why I try to stay away from gloss anything, plus glossy stuff looks tacky/ghetto in my opinion.
