I painted the trim pieces of the j2 metallic black and now I dont really care for it...anyone else have any color suggestions. Also just got the car back from the parking lot accident......my buddy did a nice job for $ 400.00.
Just before anyone comments too; I know I have to move the Elantra badge off the air bag....just dont know where to stick it yet!

A very rich Charcoal Gray would look very pleasant. It wouldn't be too dark and would stick with the overall color theme of the car: silver, tinted tails, etc.

The glitter in that finish is a bit much ... kind of "disco". If I were you, I'd go with a gray that's darker than the surrounding color like B said above.

Or even just a gloss black instead of the metallic. It doesn't look BAD though.

Yeah, I don't think it looks too bad either. Maybe it's worse in person?
Do what they said.

^^Agreed. As for the Elantra badge, don't think it looks too out of place there.
