I almost went matte black with orange roof.

I'm assuming that's vinyl, if it's paint I'm very impressed by the painter, it looks great, very smooth and even.

Really nice, clean look!

I know others are saying to black out the last few chrome trim bits, but I think they add a bit of flair and uniqueness. Classy and mean!

If you do want it gone, maybe glossy black?
