gloss or satin black?

Post by spondonchris » Mon Feb 16, 2015 8:29 pm

Hi, just about to take my SD frame to the stove enamellers and am taking all the brackets etc off the bike. As they have all been previously painted or are rust in colour, can someone tell me if they should be a gloss black or a satin black as standard?
The parts in question are things like battery box, mudguard bracket, torque arm etc

seem to be getting different opinions depending on where I ask. I was going gloss but now I am confused. Surely most people must have some original metal parts on their kats like battery box etc?
I'm saving the pink for the modified Kat !!
