Lightbulb question for the powder pro

Hey Joe , madd again!! I was reading a thread about Mike's 96 dyna you are working on and noticed you do black chrome. That was my original plan for my exhaust until I realized gloss black powder would also be nice and much more affordable.
1: Can you imagine my exhaust with it's two heat shields and tailpipe blacked out, with the center heat shield (between the header pipe and tailpipe) and slash end cap left chrome ? I think it would look awesome! JMO!!! (the one that counts I guessLOL)
2: Would it be nicer in black chrome (my original plan) or gloss black PC. From what I've read the powder is more durable than chrome and less expensive,shoot me some feedback please?
Other mods coming this winter are 11.5" prog.440 black shocks, jackyl's 2" tank lift and spacer jim's 2" black spacers

Either way would look good. I have the same pipe and would love to see pics afterward.

ony problem wiht the black chrome is the heat, it may yellow on a pipe... gloss black would not and would be able to keep the same smoooooth gloss. I would be more than happy to lay it for oyu but we could not warnt the work due to the color conserns with heat. if you went black, we would stand behind that all day... just want to be honest bud!

Thanks for that JRK now I just have to decide wether to leave the mid shield chrome or go for full out black and I'll be set!
