Looking for opinions was created by Hyde_me
I am looking for powder coating color options for my 81 KZ 440 A Ltd. I was thinking about white / pearl for thew frame and swing arm. I had also thought about the chrome being painted the same as the tank and side covers I did last year. The rims would be the same as the chrome if I do them.
Let me know what you think.

Light colors will show grease and dirt more.

Black. gloss or semi-gloss. 
This KZ400 is kinda neat, but I wouldn't care for the frame color on a stock-type restoration.

I always loved that KZ400.
If you are going the café route the sky is the limit. If you are staying close to stock then stick with the gloss black on the frame and leave the chrome alone.
