Isn't Black the new Chrome ? ? ? A little chrome to add to the black
would set off the blue you picked out, a little chrome goes a long way.

Depends. Do you like the shine BLING from chrome on other bikes?
Both will be great I'm sure.

I'm all for blackin out a bike. Trying to do as much to mine as I can. But I want a little chrome here and there. And for your color blue I think the same. Quite a bit of black with hints of chrome.

If you were going with a black paint job, I'd say either black or chrome would look good. But with blue?? Chrome all the way.

I think you should go with Black, since you're painting it a matte color. If you were doing a metal flake or something, I'd vote for Chrome...

Good luck with the decision, I'm sure it'll be great either way...
