Thanks Chip. Your bike looks fantastic. If it's not an issue, I'll be adding more matte black to my bike gradually.

 

On mine, I'm doing all wrinkle black on the motor, gauge bezels
Satin black on the wheels
High gloss black on the fork sliders, bars triple clamps, shocks, tanks and fenders

 

I did the engine cases wrinkle to match the factory cylinders and cases, but all my chrome got a satin black powdercoat. Signals, rear struts, bag latches, lowers, bars, levers, tank dash, headlight ring, crash bar, etc. My powder coater told me that a true flat black powdercoat will fade/whiten after long exposure to the sun, that's why he does a 20% gloss for what's technically satin. Bonus: the satin is pretty much a perfect match to the factory black paint on the parts like switch housings and stuff.

 

I like my colors uniform. All my powdercoat matches factory painted parts, and aside from my trans cover, all my engine parts are wrinkle.

 

I have been mixing it up. Depends on the component. I have the gloss fuel door and will be having the console done in flat.

the trans side cover will be wrinkle to match the trans and motor, the bars I am installing on Saturday ate gloss. I like multiple shades of black, but you have to do it right.

if you clean your bike a lot, go with gloss or flat. the textured is harder to keep clean as I am sure you already know.
