Gloss Black or Matt Black help me choose

Hi,

Ok after a delay with my watercooling mod of my Lian Li (mainly to due me punching holes in radiators :eek:

and scratching side panels :eek:

) I am on my way to getting things finished.

One thing I need to decide on is the colour of the mesh I am going to use on my side panel (this is the vent for my 120.3 Rad).

Now I am thinking black to give some contrast to my Silver Lian Li V2000 but would Matt or Gloss be better? I am also thinking of painting the PCI slot covers on the back of the case to add a different colour to the back, but am thinking the black on the PCI slot covers should be Matt black.

What do you all think guys?

Matt, I dont think a gloss will look too good next to the silver.

I vote for Matt or maybe a silk black. Another option that might look good, is paint the mesh gold to contrast wit the silver of the case.

Thanks guys will get both a matt black and as messiah said a silk black is probably better. Will then do a tes spray on the mesh i am not using to see which looks better.

Although gold would stand out and be different Messiah I am having blue led fans shining out behind the mesh so think the black will look better than gold plus the mesh grill at the back of the case for the fan there is a black mesh so I want my mesh to match it. Thanks for the idea though.

Neither. Mat Black is too dull and Gloss is too shiney. Go for Satin Black
