Not feeling it at all, maybe its the lighting but the paint looks bad.

FYI since i took these pictures, the trim was re-painted and re-smoothed so the patchiness isn't the way you see it there.... i didn't notice all the missed spots from bad masking tape until i had put it on

Personally, I would of gone with a piano black finish even though your interior is black.. the Piano glossy finish just looks classy.
But this is your car afterall and your personality, your style etc. etc.
