Default Powder coating handlebars.

I'm getting ready to take some parts to the powder coated, they are going to be gloss black. I'm wondering if I should go the bars gloss black, or flat black like my wild 1 bad. Anyone else pced bars before, and what fid you go with?

All of the p/c'ing on my bike is semi-gloss black, so I did that color on my bars.

I did gloss on my Springer. Make sure the powder coated tapes off the knurls on the bars.
