Default My new paint job - Black Crakote!?!

I wanted some opinions about my idea/plans for a new paint job this fall. Im a big gun nut and I have a local guy (gun smith) who has done most of my guns in Cerakote and its just amazing stuff.
http://www.cerakoteguncoatings.com/

Its heat, scratch, rust, salt ect. proof! its just plain awesome. I've been planning/saving for a semi-gloss OR flat black paint job on my sporty that is now black and gold. I just love all black & Chrome bikes. Ive got a local paint and body guy who said hed fix all my dents and dings and paint the whole bike semi gloss black for $550 which aint a bad deal (thats including all the work of taking apart and putting back together the bike).
However I think I can get my Cerakote guy to do the whole bike (flat black) for about $500 as long as I take off the tank and fenders and bring them to him. the process is a baking (kinda like powder coating) process.
I think it'll look as bad *** as it will be functional and damn near indestructible...plus ill be the only person I know with a cerakote'd Hog! Just wanted some feed back- Thanks fellas.
