Is black the new chrome?
#41
I think black has its place on certain bikes. But IMO it has to be flat black and all black....not just here and there. Shiny black just looks plastic and cheap.
Unlike chrome, I don't think you can highlight a bike with black parts here and there. Or at least I haven't seen a bike yet done in a way that it looks good.

I like both!
I "blacked out" my black GMC 4X4 and I love it.
My RK is the exact opposite and I love it!
I still haven't warmed up to the denim paint but I've seen a few that looked good.
Trends are trends but,done properly,they'll be grabbing attention for years.

aha aha aha! Read the op's question: Is black the new chrome? Since There aren't too many chrome painted bikes out there....think it safe to say he was asking about parts . Not paint.

Huh?????? Chrome is easy to keep looking good. Paint/black is PITA to keep up...Nice looking bikes by the way.....especially the red one.
