Im getting a deal on powder coating the front wheel of my night train and the short shot heat shields and lower forks. The color is a glossy black. Has anyone used this. Im curious how close it will be to the tank and fenders shine. Or if it will be too over powering of the black wrinkle.

 

i used the gloss black when i powdercoated my wheels they shine but looks good

 

IMO the shinny is better than the dull..

 

My wheels, bars, struts, and just about everything... lol I don't know about the Heat sheilds though... The heat will make them look satin.

 

Had these heat shields done in gloss black and put 14K or better on them without any fade or dulling.G.You're a black addict Mark

 

hey mon how yer bud like the pics?
bike is sick dude its like 30 degrees out here in chicago
love the aloha on the van

 

I went for flat back. I like the look of the black heads.

 

I've powdercoated both gloss black and wrinkle black. No issues here.

 

I guess you can then? Like I said my friends heat shields turn a duller not so shinny black?

MIKE... My friend luv'd the picture... It came out so cool in black and white I went out and bought another frame for me also... lol
That's my work van...

G... You know dat...

 

I powdercoated my sliders, handlebars, risers etc gloss black I like the look, it matches the tank and frame really good, But if I was to do it all over I would go with a flat or satin black. The gloss will show smudges and surface scratches easily. I dont know for sure..but I would think the flat would be more durable in that respect.
