Default What happens if.....

I paint the hoodliner with gloss black instead of flat black ? I noticed that everyone says flat black but I just had some gloss laying around and i really didnt wanna go to wal-mart.

Thanks,
Chris

I would suppose it would just be more of a shine to the hoodliner. Don't know if that would look good or not as all that I have seen are the flat black color.

I have seen a bunch of them air brushed with colors and/or pictures and those looked nice, but just a solid gloss color, I haven't seen, let us know and add pictures.
