Did both my 31k and N2 in PJ1 gloss with norbo's switch decals. Stripped painted then baked in the oven to make sure it was rock hard. Even did the kill switch on the N2 in plasicote red to perk it up. Know the gloss doesn't look standard but then the bikes don't either. Prefered the gloss as the decals are glossy.  Steve |

Wasn't their BBQ paint, just their satin black. |

i painted my switch gear with pji, i put some isulation tape on it to protect it when putting it together, when i pulled the tape off some of the paint came off with it, i had to strip it and paint them again, i used ACID 8 primer the second time.
