For those with... Nismo bumper

I'm debating on if I should paint the ducts black or just paint the whole thing one color. I've seen pics of both setups and they're both very nice... my car is silver so i think it would flow really well...

But I guess my question is for those that painted the ducts black, what color or color code did you use?? I'm guessing its just a gloss black

paint them matte black, but only if your grille and/or headlights are black. you need other black accents to compliment one another. otherwise, IMO, it won't flow.

not a great example, LOL. but this is what i mean.
