What color to powdercoat my ccws?

Okai, I recently purchased ccw classics and due to the last owner leaving these guys in the sun for months and months, the anodize has started to come off.

I love gold, but I'm in that phase where I no longer want to look like a ricer. Heres what it looks like

I think gunmetal and Satin black are the more grown up looks which look like this.

Oh yea my car is white.

I don't have pics of the car at the moment but I'll post pics of it once I get it powdercoated.

I personally feel glossy black w/ a polished lip is far overdone and simply doesn't look that great these days...I'd go for the gunmetal.

black seems to be the popular opinion but I am kind of leaning towards gunmetal for some reason.

I would say black, but in no way a glossy one. Gunmetal might not be enough contrast on a white car. If Gunmetal then a dark one.
