those 2 fender splash guards with the plastic coating now white.
Should i paint them matte black or Gloss black to match my white & blk theme.

 

gloss will clean up easier but show any rock chips or scratches , matte black would look cool though. I vote gloss black

 

Black is usually a good choice . Try and photo shop a pic of your HHR with your color choice's, easier then repainting :), If no photo shop program print a few pics of your HHR and use colored marker's ! Just this old fart's 2 cent's :)

 

I put carbon fiber vinyl on mine, but you can get the vinyl in all kinds of colors and special effects...might be worth considering

 

I vote for matte black, or take speedwagen's route with a matte or carbon fiber look vinyl.

 

Thanks guys yeah I went with matte black with a clear coat
White was just getting to dirty looking
I love the new look it goes with the graphics on
The lower part of the hhr great
Pics tomorrow to dark right now.

If you used regular clear, your matte black is now gloss blk..

Either way Black is a good contrast color on white vehicles..

 

Yeah i Know but without clear it wouldn't hold up a week the roads in cali are allway's being torn up and fixed and it kills me when i have to go threw them and there being recently paved. had to clear to give it a little protective coverings.

 

I was so unhappy with those two places on my car. You showed me an affordable fix. I was feeling a little ashamed about my car, and also why I didn't notice it when I bought my HHR. I was thinking maybe I shouldn't go to HHR Nationals this summer with my car looking that way. I'm going to get mudflaps too and put both on at the same time.

 

Nice, see you at the Nat's
