So, as the title says. I am going to repaint my lower valence once I get my ride back in a few weeks or so, when I bought the car I think it had a bumper on it that came with the black lower rear valence. I noticed there were chips and scratches where you could see the yellow bumper under the black paint and a few gouges from some one hitting something and a few brush strokes where previous owner tried to do god knows what to touch it up. I was thinking about using filler in the small gouges sanding it down to the fiberglass/plastic and then laying down a primer coat and hitting it with black paint only thing I am wondering is if it would look better with gloss black or if I used flat/Semi Gloss black. I am 100% set on sanding it down completely to repaint it all over, I would probably use a 300 grit sand paper and scotch brite pads. I will try to find pics of it before to post now to give you all an idea where it's at currently. I want to tape off the valence where the small valley is that separates the valence from the rest of the bumper and spray that also, let me know what you guys think. I have a while to plan a way to attack this haha.

I used satin black on mine and it looks perfect, just need to make sure you mask it off really good so the lines fit the recessed area

I hear it more than you can imagine, no biggie. Gloss black is like the paint on a black car, reflective and all.

Maybe this will help >> from left to right, Flat, Matte, Gloss.
