Hi Guys, im thinking about getting my black bits sprayed as im sick of back to blacking them and it was kind of the plan for it anyway...

Not to sure on what colour to go for obviously most people will just say silver but that would be the sensible option, i want something different...

I was thinking either, Anthracite, Gloss Black, Satin Black....

Not to sure on what to go for, i think gloss black is winning in my head at the moment.

Anyway what do you all think.. ?

Only thing im worried about with grey's etc is the fact that it might look close to the silver colour and just look like a terrible colour match..

i recon black but not to a gloss finish, just a dull finish like euro stylie that way you can wash them rather then back to black but they wont stand out to much in comparsion to the rest of the car which is what it will do if you do them in high gloss black i think

I wonder what it would look like if it were colour coded silver? Might not look as good without the black bits though.

Silver just looks like every other Corsa plus i like the contrast, Anthracite looks great on that silver one that makes it very tempting because it looks like the standard colour but shiney ... are there different types of anthracite ? dark/light etc ...

Why dont they, i think they look good, and having them painted gloss black or a dark grey would make them stand out that little bit more aswell as following the line around the car, ive seen quite a few cars use the skirts i have to follow the line around the car and none of them look bad at all

gloss black would look good IMO.

match the style of your car better, black wheels, lights etc.
