Dave, I asked a question like that about frame color, other black items, not the Body Panels, Fenders or Tanks and Jerry R had an answer from a restorer/painter. Non Body parts would be an 80% gloss black. Body panels, Fenders and tanks would be 100% Glossy as in the Brilliant Black HD color. Also the painter said many Ks and other early HDs have too fancy of a paint job. He was talking about doing ONE final color coat, not many coats that many do to make a nicer, deep look. (Saves paint also) Rivets should stand out, well defined, etc. Does any body have additional information on this important subject? Thank You, Erik
