Custom helmet paint decision
Hello all,
Well, I'm stuck on choosing a detail on a custom paint job on my helmet. The helmet is a Gmax half helmet and has sort of the shape of our helmets. So I'm having it done in the ACU camo pattern our uniforms use, with the addition of some custom graphics. I figured it would be pretty original.
Ok, the part I can't decide on is whether or not to go with the flat clear coat or glossy. If it's flat, it would look more like an actual helmet.
The guy doing the custom paint says it would look too authentic. Like a cloth helmet cover pulled over the helmet with the graphics sewn on. He thinks that the helmet would look better with a gloss clear coat, that it would be more apparent that it is custom paint and that it would make the additional graphics pop more.
What do you all think?

Also, what do you mean about it holding up better than matte?
