Rush decision help needed. Trim, gloss or satin.
My painter is prepping the trim as we speak and asked if I want gloss or satin trim. Since I've gone metallic, I really can't decide if I want the trim to be satin or not. My XF mirror trim is satin finished bit the b pillars and all my chrome is gloss black.
Satin would be much more forgiving but gloss may look better. The paint is sooo black unless the sun really hits it, it won't be obvious if its gloss. I'm afraid it may look like he forgot to paint the trim if I go gloss black. Or I can go body color but I think it needs some contrast.
HELP!!

I put a gloss black trim piece beside the paint and it looks so similar that it looks like we forgot to paint it the dark brown. The satin black looks intentional, and the body color looks like we didnt mask anything.
I too thought gloss but it really doesn't look right somehow.
If I don't like it satin, I can always have it painted gloss. Much easier to start with satin, then gloss if necessary.
Oh, and the charcoal/Dorchester grey looks BAD against this color.

The the first three days, then when I left town for a week, he kind of got distracted otherwise he should have been done last Friday. Now he's trying to be finished by this Friday. I'm a little pissed he dropped the ball, hence the fast results now.
