Gloss-If ya get a lite scratch u b able to buff it out. Satin -if ya get a scratch &buff it will shine up and u will lose the satin look. I'd go satin! But that because I'm a painter

Default I went Satin

I just had my Lo done up in denim black with satin black bars...

Very little gloss black left on the bike.

I think it looks awesome but to each his own.

Default Gloss?

I would go with the "gloss" powder coating since your tank is already gloss. No issues with mine... Good Luck!!

I went textured on the lights and gloss on the handlebars. As much as I was thinking all gloss, i just keep digging the textured look. We'll see how it turns out....

Hog bike looks good!!

Circus - I mixed mine up and did both gloss and satin. Turn sigs, AC, levers, went satin. The lowers, triple tree, and anything on frame (belt guard, pivot bolt cover and frame inserts) went gloss
