Exhaust Plate
I bought a piece of stainless steel for an exhaust plate I'm making. Should I paint it flat black or gloss black? It's going to have a yellow Jake decal on it.

No one that I know of makes the C5 Jake. You would have to get it made yourself.

Looks great, I'm just looking for as strictly black/yellow theme as I can get.
The CCWs were a moment of weakness... for now
