I am restoring my T500J, therefore should the frame and all the black parts be finished in a black gloss or black satin finish?

The guy who powder coated my frame (GT500) only does bike frames and he said it should be gloss, it certainly looks right.

Gloss it is - thanks for that. The tank will be green/white as per the original. I have a good painter who makes and good job of matching up the original paint from good quality photos.

I had my 68 TC200 frame done at the powder coater in a 75% gloss black.... it is nearly identical to the original black lacquer.
