Powder Coating Need Opinions!
Ok so since its in the 30's here its time to start the winter mods. I am wanting to powder coat my rearsets black and dont know what shade would look best, since there is a lot of contrast on my bike. Please help me out, give me your opinion or post some pics of your black rearsets and specify what you got them done in (gloss, flat, satin), thanks for your input.
I am also wanting to get the levers done, is there any one who has done that, or should I just get Pazzo levers

Re: Powder Coating Need Opinions!
Not the best pic, but you get the idea. I powdercoated my levers until I decide to buy the shorties.

Thats what i am thinking about doing, is your powder coating all flat black?
Keep the unput coming its helping me decide, i am leaning away from gloss and going toward a satin or flat.

Re: Powder Coating Need Opinions!
I say gloss to be different. Why not? The only thing is it will show scuffs over time after repeated rubbing.
