What black paint finishes?

#1 PostAuthor: sprint » Mon Feb 09, 2015 2:51 pm

Looking to get frame and various other cycle parts off to the power coaters next week and would appreciate some advice on the various paint finishes used.

With the various black finishes available, Flat Black, Satin Black, Semi-Gloss Black, Gloss Black etc (assuming the powder coater has them) what are the correct (or considered to be the best) finishes for the following parts.

1. Frame, swinging arm, battery box and all the other various brackets.

2. Headlamp shell

3. Top yoke and handlebar clamps

4. Bottom yoke

5. Calipers

6. Front wheel hub

7. Mirror stems

8. Seat base
