How do you think this would look? Good or bad idea? especially on the rims, not sure if I should pull the trigger on that one. Joe

UTC quote You know satin black is a bitch with marks and finger prints.... looks good but it's not like having a clear coat.. easy to scratch... if you don't care about this and it's gonna be a rider's bike then I vote yes! I'm a black/black/black guy, but White rims would be nice... everything else black.. 2cents Whatever you decide please share some pics!

Looks really cool, extremely resistent to scratches and such. It would give your that satin look with added durability and a "tougher" look.
