Default Line X question

I'm getting my jeep repainted this week with a good looking red. My question is, i'm going to have my bumpers and fender flares sprayed with Line-X coating ( black ). They have the traditional type that is kind of a flat color and a new type that is a glossy black. For my bumpers and fender flares, would it look better with a flatter color or a gloss black? They told be it would always be gloss and never fade, but I can't quite decide. Opinions?

I'd say gloss with new paint. Just my opinion though.

I like the look of flat black personally.... but the gloss will shine up nice. And yeah, the gloss will NEVER fade, and if it does, its backed by a lifetime warranty. I know the guys personally at our line-x store locally, (one is park staff at a local ORV park) and they did their whole jeeps, inside and out 100% in Line-X and even rubbing rocks, branches and in the salt and crap from the winter, it washes easy and shines!

But like I said, I like the "look" of the flat better.... but if it helps, I am getting my bumpers and sliders done in Line-X as well.... and I am getting gloss, only to match the rest of my jeep..... so who am I to say flat... HAHAHAHA

Cool, thanks guys, I will prob go ahead with the gloss, my wheels are powder coated and shine pretty well. It costs a little more, but ought to look good.
