Here's a quick peek at some of the powder coat I've done over the winter. I'm also having the bike painted. (black) My painter is dragging his feet, so I haven't got the bike back together yet.

Default Question

Do you think you can mix flat black and black gloss on a bike?

I like my flat black Fat Cat pipes and would like to add some more flat black parts to it. In my mind, black gloss wouldn't work.

I mixed gloss and black and I think it looks ok. My sheet metal is flat and my powder is gloss.
