painted heatshield gloss black.... pics

so i made this heatshield, from some super sweet diamond plate, its all i had at the moment, and i didnt like how shiney it was, so i painted it gloss black, i also intend to paint all my intercooler piping the same, or maybe have it powdercoated, dunno yet, also i think im gonna take off my valve cover, and paint that gloss black as well, thought??? but let me know what you think, better, or worse???
before......



AFTER......
