Would you print this on metallic?

If printing this in 20x30 (cropping would be slightly different, just bringing the lower right corner up a hair), with an intention to put it on a wall, would you use metallic or lustre? I've never seen a metallic print before, and none of the descriptions I find on the internet really help me.

Yeah, Colors of the car would pop.. The only thing is skintones and metallic paper can be a little tricky. Try an 8x10 first??

No. I'd print it on METAL!

Metal would probably be really cool, BUT I've chosen to use my law degree in the service of my state...meaning I'm poor. Same reason I'd rather not do a proof print. My superiors are getting on me for my office walls still being blank after nearly a year, so I figure on covering them with my own photos.

Well, if you get quality custom framing, then there's really no difference in cost. An off-the-shelf frame will save money, for sure.

Yeah, I'll just go get some cheapy frames from Target. I'd consider spending the money for metal if it weren't for those darn shadows. I wish I were better at photoshop, I'd just edit them out lol.

Metal would be cool, I saw some stuff a few weeks ago on glass - even more impressive. A couple of my equestrian customers allways buy metalic and rave about it.

I think printing this photo in medal would look sharp!
