I guess mine is considered a matte finish. The finish and texture that I used is identical to the rest of engine shroud and lower grille. I wanted it to look like it came that way, that's why I opted for it. I used a spray on coating, not just spray paint.

I like to have subtle mods that people don't really notice unless they're looking for them. I don't think it looks cheap and that's really all that matters.
