No planning there. But good idea with the gloves.
I think a satin finish is what we used. It looked like an OEM plastic. I think a real flat black might kinda look too ghetto. I don't think it was a krylon or anyhting but it was not the cheapest either.
Matt go out in your garage and see if you still have the can. :?
And tomorrow right monday. Well unless I get out of work early which is doubtful I make around 8:40ish depending on how easy I find you house and all.
