need opinions on paint job?

these pictures are not mine, just found um on the net, i think the tc belongs to ricer and the pontiac belongs to yeild on the occ



cant decide between these two


1.






also dunno if i should paint the whole trunk or just the top like this





2.
second option









and if you have any other suggestions please feel free to post them


the paint would be gloss black and im sure the photoshops i did dont do it justice (new at it)

keep in mind im a 2.2, black retros, not keeping the stock lowrise, have an after market wig that looks like the uniquewing for the sedans but sits lower on the trunk like the stock lowrise,and that i have the cobalt version of the rksport hood (carbon fiber) (but rk sports **** is **** its all fogged and needs to be painted lol) dont buy rk sports carbon products.

I don't like either. I would do the wheels and leave the rest alone. Have you ever had matte components? They are hard to care for.



If I had to choose out of your options its 1 with the whole trunk

If its going to be gloss I still would leave it alone. Personally matte would look better......but gloss gives you better paint transitions as you can sand the line smooth

unless your paint is **** leave it stock. the factory paint can never be duplicated. they paint cars in perfect conditions. a shop will never be able to do as good of a job. but if you dont give a ****. go for it. but ill never repaint my car unless somethings wrong with it. or im rich and can repaint it whenever i want.

i have alot of after market stuff needing painted, front ss bumper, front lip, side skirts, wing, hood, rear lip. and all four of my doors are rusting out on the bottom edge, so there gonna be painting most of the car anyways, so while there at it gonna get um to do one of the options listed above.
