tbh you dont see many truely gloss black strips, you get people doing diy jobs with gloss black but dont get a shiney wet looking finish how they are supposed to be, most people who gloss balck there bump strips look more like they've put bumper care on there strips, not knocking it just saying
these are mine, i think gloss black is the best you can get you've got three other options, leave they grey, colour code them or smooth them and unless you paying big bucks to get them smoothed then i think gloss black is by far the best option

what is the best way to get a wet look finish?
good prep.. waiting 10-15 min between coats and laquer?
and did you diy or get the sprayed professionaly?

Personally I don't like the wet look, call mine a DIY job but I just roughed mine up and sprayed Gloss Black paint on. Looks dark as anything.

Gloss Black looks great on any colour in my opinion makes the car look so much cleaner.
