Should I paint or Cerakote the fender flares?

[1badAZraptor]

I'm refreshing a 04 Rubicon, the fender flares are flat black and boring. It would be easy to Cerakote the flares and they would come out a nice glossy black.
I think I should paint them satin black. I don't think they were glossy black from the factory.

The Sahara trim package came with body matched glossy flares. I’m not sure glossy black flares would look good on yours. In the pic of the one for sale it looks bad because the hardtop is a different color (and that dumb rear quarter armor).

Eastwood 2K Satin Rat Rod black matches really well to the satin black on the Rubicon fenders. And it's a tougher 2 part epoxy paint. I'll be refreshing mine with it at some time this winter. Sprayed the bumpers on my Dad's LJR in Sept with it. Still hadn't flashed 100% when I took this, but gives the idea.
