To me flat paint seems as though somethings not done yet,I agree with these other guys,but I know everybodies different,differen tastes,styles,we could start a different blog on this issue but guys that build bikes like Cyrul,that are CUSTOMS should be a cut above everything else,higher quality than what you get at the production,factory level.The paint should look like its from a highly skilled and talented painter,thats hard to produce and takes years of experience,flat looks like my 14 year old did it in shop class

Not for everybody. Not for all bikes, thanks god, But at least people will know how to do it right, in colors.

To each his own, but I’ve never been much of a fan of the flat finishes, personally I think it just makes a project look shabby and unfinished.
I do however like flat ceramic black pipes if the application fits the look, but never the actual paint finish.
Just my opinion.
