opinions please
I am thinking about flat backing my dash but am unsure if it will look good contrasting the vivid black of the tank.
other parts going flat black are:
horn cover
upper belt guard
crome tab on seat if i do the dash
parts going to gloss black are:
headlight (might do a combo flat with gloss around trim part around lenses)
upper and lower trees
bars
flashers
forward controls
anyway just wanting to find out everyones opinion. if i do black it out i will need to do something with the crome switch. thank you.

might do the matching rear riviera rim ( http://performancemachine.com/Catego...px?display=432 ) in back and fat daddy in front but leaning more towards fat daddy front and back

to many blacks looks crazy on a bike... looks like fleabay helped you to get all your parts... i keep it simple when i do my powder jobs... your bike already has a wrinkle black (motor and primary) as well as the vivid on your tins... i would keep wiht those... it starts to look crazy after that... if you insist on doing a flat black do a semi gloss 40% that will help to tie is in a bit and be a good medium... here is a pic of some lowers i did for a buddy of mine... this is a 40% semi gloss black... nice looking powder and it is slowly becoming one of my favorites to use

I personally would go with a painted dash in gloss black. And powder coat your list in gloss black. IMO. But do what you want it is your bike that what makes it yours.

My 02 FXD is vivid black with a semi-gloss black center "dash". Keep in mind I have the gas cap top center then below it is the fuel gage. Looks okay by me.

I ran into a guy with a blacked out 07 FLHX. He was pretty close to what JRK has with those lowers. He had done the whole bike, including exhaust, with the exception of chrome switches, gas cap, Smaller or maybe medium sized chrome Harley Davidson on the tank, all the nuts and bolts were chrome. The inspection plates were stock chrome. I liked it so did my wife.
