I vote for the matte finish, I redone a old xls Roadster in matte finish, everyone loved it, the funny thing about it is my wife was the one who talked me into it also!, I guess they have better taste than we do lol

By the way, The Dyna is all back together...
Send a PM on where your at on it.

Some good stuff guys, Yellowstone Kelly must of heard the voices in my head too lol. I stuck the satin mufflers on it along with the tank and starting to like the direction, exhaust pipes are out being jet coated polished finish, need to finish de-chroming the heat shields to satin. Think It's going to be something different, also going to tell people it can't be picked up on radar.

That matte looks some good, would like to see the progress.
Currently de-geezering the Evo ultra, had a similar dilemma, looked hard at the single stage Ditzler hotrod black, but wanted to use up the material I had left over from last year's red bike project, thought I had my mind made up.
Currently no access to a paint booth, hard to get the weather window for painting in the driveway right this time of year, can only work a few pieces at a time.

I used Eastwood's single stage acrylic urethane Hotrod matte black, sprayed nice, looked great, held up well and easy to wash bike

I guess you could call that Stealth Paint... If it wasn't for the Chrome I wouldn't be able to see that it's an old Iron Head... LOL...
