I have a 2010 denim black Lo that i want to black out but want some contrast. I was thinking since the bike has some gloss black accents already that if I gloss black everything not attached to the engine it would bring good contrast and really make whatever chrome I leave really pop. Has anyone done it this way? Do you have pictures?
General rule of thumb.. 3 main colors. Right now you have Denim Black (the tins), Satin Chrome (The motor, primary cover, clutch housing cover, and more or less the fork lowers), and basic flat black (the frame, the cowbells, the oil tank, the swingarm).
If mine were denim black, i would stay away from glossing everything and stick with the flat. Leave the engine as-is. But that's just me.
