Default Hard decision!! Need help!!

I decided I wanted to powder coat my rear turn signal and coil cover on my 06 night train and I was hell bent on gloss black so it still had a shine but then someone suggested getting the turns wrinkled finished to match my struts. Now I'm not sure and its driving me crazy. Any input will help maybe even picture thanks

Wrinkle finish will give the signals and cover a nice contrast and tie them into the struts. I'd go wrinkle finish.

i would match them to the struts to be honest. i tend to only do contrast on parts that i want to stick out, or custom sections of a bike... turn sigs are not all that cool and i try to make them blend in... blow you mind how many people ask me where mine are cause they are color matched to the frame and blend right in

My chrome was showing a lot of wear so I had a buddy shoot the struts, stems, and blinkers in gloss black for free. If I like it ill send them out for gloss black powder. I dont think mixing textures will pop like you think it will.
