So after seriously considering all factors...I have gone with gloss black and I'm going with satin strips and she's all done and...I think she is beautiful, I'm trying to figure out how to post pictures for you guys
Like several of the others, I like the satin finish. I'm thinking of doing something similar - don't know if I want to do the black. I was thinking along the lines of a midnight blue and keeping just enough chrome to contrast. It all comes down to the budget though. I like the black!
