Engine powder coat

Hey guys, getting ready to black out the motor on my street glide and looking for some pictures from guys that have done this. Question is gloss, satin or wrinkle black finish? Post up some pics please!

If you can find a wrinkle black that matches your cases, dead on. If not gloss black.

The case is actually textured black. The trans top, and rocker box bottom and top from Harley are also textured. The cam cover, trans side, horn and primary from HD are all wrinkle black. There is a distinct difference between wrinkle and textured. I got some parts off eBay, bought some from Harley and had some stuff powdered. You can tell the difference between the bought stuff and powdered stuff on my bike. You just need to make sure the powder guy finds the wright stuff or it wont match.
