Is it to get it at the same gloss as the rest of the bike instead of the flat plastic black look?
Thats the Reason I did it .. Like my Black Shiny ...

Default Painting it Black

After a short time the flat black fades on most horizontal surfaces. If you would like to match the bike, gloss colors are less prone to fading than the flat black.
