Bumper Color ?

Bumper Color ?
The new Custom 4x4 Fabrication Ranger rear bumper project is almost finished.
The new brackets are on their way and it will be the last thing needed to make it fit correctly and then on to painting.
I was thinking Line-X but not right now, so I am thinking Black, easy color, easy choice right, NOT !
Here is how it sat after last fitting, new brackets are on their way to raise it 1.25”.
I am going to paint my bumper.
A friend will professionally spray both the front and back bumper inside and out.
Start with a DuPont Professional Metal Etching Primer, then I want to spray it black, my dilemma is what level of gloss to make it.
1) Glossy as he!!
2) Semi-Gloss, so someone will thing I just didn’t polish it
3) Flat, there is no polishing
4) Somewhere in between - please specify
Tthere is also the Line-X thing BUY I am in a Better Business Dispute with them and I don’t think I will get a good job done.

Thanks
How the selling of the truck going… I haven’t seen anything ?
I am thinking semi-gloss or satin, which I think are the same thing.
My next problem will be can I get a satin clear to finish things off ?
thanks for the postings.

I got the can of chassis saver yesterday but have not read the label, will do today.
$30qt + taxes but maybe I should have tried the metal etching and then satin black with a standard automotive paint.
I guess I am still thinking.

Bare steel, sort of a titanium color.
Sounds good but which ever painting process I use there will need to be a metal etching process done first where the metal is treated/painted with a chemical that not only makes the paint stick better but also helps with rust reduction if chips or cracks happen.
