Paint my engine

Going to be getting my nc30 engine back from the tuner soon and intend on painting it black.

But I cant for the life of me choose wither to do it in gloss or satin! I'm after a more factory modified kind of look to the bike, would gloss be too gaudy I wonder?

Anyway, thought I would get you chaps opinion Thumbs Up

Yeah a good VHT paint will do the job. You probably knows this already but I've been told several times not to paint the fins on the engine as the heat can't disperse as easily.

How do you paint the engine? Stripping off paint etc? Have to fully dismantle the engine?
