I did mine recently in gloss black (actually black smoothrite) Gave the crossmember a good rub down with wet and dry then etch primed then a couple of coats of gloss black to finish. Looks good in my opinion and easy to keep clean.

My rear cross member paint had worn thin over the years as it seems to get sandblasted by salt and gravel caught up in the vortex behind the car this is why i used the Smoothright as it,s much harder wearing than satin black.Did my old 300 Tdi the same and that stayed good looking for years.
Will try and get a pic and e mail to you (not mastered posting pics yet).
