Going in for a stage 3 upgrade and I'm going to have them powder coat all the chrome (minus the cylinders and heads) black.

Should I gloss black or or do a flat or wrinkle black???

I love flat but gloss is easy too clean i guess. So do what feels right for you .

Slow progress, but Gitting her done one piece at a time, and saving my stock chrome pieces in case I want to go back.

I think you are on the right track... Ceramic on the exhaust, your choice of powder coat finish on the other pieces - gloss, satin, matte, wrinkle. I was surprised by the number of different blacks offered by my powder coater.

The pipe is the factory ceramic on the D&D Fat Cat. Everything else on the bike was done high gloss black. Thanks for the kind words. It's always a work in progress LOL
