I am in a quandary...

I can't decide if I should get my rims powder coated a matte black.... or just polish up the aluminum to a nice shine.

Little help... given the color of the bike and the cast wheels... black or polish the aluminum.

Your input is appreciated.

 

i'd go with the matte black. then do the cases & rocker tops while your at it. next spring do the front fork

 

Low gloss or Harley vivid black.

 

I was kinda leaning that direction also... start blacking everything out.

Thanks for the input fellas.

 

I just picked up a '02 Hugger and I'm planning on PC'ing most of the bike gloss black. I may do the engine case mat black, but I'm just kicking around ideas at the moment.

 

i would say matte black to match with your air cleaner and other matte black parts.
if you are undecided why not try out the polished look first, that way you can see how it looks and then go for powder later if needed

 

I would go matte black and also do the front forks black.

 

Thanks for the input. I think I am leaning more towards the matte black... I hadn't considered the forks, but I just visualized it and saw a few images online... and MAN! That looks good.

 

I Would actually go in the opposite direction and Gloss them out in Black. There are so many bikes with the flat-black color. And while cool, it does not make things Pop. Gloss Black would accentuate the bike overall and even the existing flat parts that are on it.

I was JUST looking at those same rims when I posted this.. very sharp!

So great, I'm no closer to a decision... lol
