Default Gloss black or texture powdercoat?

I'm going to have the lower forks, the trees,The battery box, And a few other pieces Powder coated.
I kinda like the textured finish of the motor And thinking of Having that stuff Powder-coated to match the motor.
What do you think gloss black or the textured?

I like gloss, but had a friend do textured that turned out much better than I ever expected. It would look good matching your motor.

I did spray the lower fork With a textured paint To see what it would look like in it does look pretty good to me.

Road dust dust is easier to clean off with the gloss finish. May not matter to anyone, I just would rather have gloss when its time to redo my own ride. The wrinkled finish to me looks tried and dated. Motor cases look ok in the flat wrinkle finish but when it comes to the rims and rocker box covers gloss looks better IMO.

I have seen the lower texture coated and they look good! If and when I have mine done I am going textured.
