I will be taking my frame in for powdercoating... was wondering if gloss or satin would be the best choice (to match original frame sheen). The "tins" will be wet paint (gloss black).
Thanks!
Thanks!

yes, satin is further than gloss from the original...there's stuff you can read on how to dull paint if the gloss is too much but if you run out and look at a wooden door or window-frame they don't keep the super-shine of gloss very long anyways....a Car's/ bike's " body" paint gets several coats of clear to KEEP their shine...but have a look at the frame under the hood that doesn't get clearcoats....
I don't know about powder coating but satin+gloss enamels can be mixed together...in enamels, flat and satins have (roughly speaking) talc powders added to dull them from gloss.

Paint and powder coating quality have both come a long way from when these bikes were done at the factory. Powder coat goes on gloss (or satin) and stays that way. My frame was powder coated almost 9 years ago with a gloss finish and looks as good now as the day I picked it up. It's also way more durable then paint.
