Default gloss bars / flat trees?

file this under inane if you like but I'm having trouble picturing what i should do about my bars...

i'm *this close* to ordering WC MX-Tbars but can't figure out if I should get them black, or raw and have them powdered myself to match my trees.

My trees and sliders are a flat/satin black, actually most of the bike is that colour... only the frame, strut covers and headlamp is gloss (the fork boots are shiny too) but all the pics I've found have gloss or natural trees (or are hidden with a fairing)

any thoughts on whether the gloss bars would look dumb on satin trees?
or maybe they'd look weird all the same satin shade...
any opinions, especially accompanied by pics are welcome



(btw, smaller headlamp and fairing are on the way, mags and road rage to follow)
