I am dropping off my chrome for powder coating next week. My bike is charcoal denim. I am trying to decide either gloss or flat black. Opinions on flat vs gloss black?

Question, does anyone know if the push button for the fuel door is available in Denim black or if it can be taken apart for powder coating?

I don't believe you can tear it down. It can be taken off, but there are some plastic parts in there. Harley sells a black mechanism for about 29 bucks though.

The Super Glide in my avatar is a mix of chrome, black and bare aluminum it works well withe yellow imo. My old 2011 Street Glide was vivid black and chrome. My new twisted cherry Street Glide is black because there was a chrome one sitting next to it and the black looked better imo.
