T500 Frame Finish
I am restoring my T500J, therefore should the frame and all the black parts be finished in a black gloss or black satin finish?

Re: T500 Frame Finish
The guy who powder coated my frame (GT500) only does bike frames and he said it should be gloss, it certainly looks right.

Re: T500 Frame Finish
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.

Re: T500 Frame Finish
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.
