Message	Don Wood, who did mine, smoothes your plenum and offers other finishes if the glossy finish isnt what you want. I think if bronze is your desired color, maybe bronze in a satin finish would be what you are looking for. He did my wiper arms in the satin finish, they look excellent. Sort of halfway between textured like wrinkle coat and glossy black like most PC'ed plenums you see.
