Time to get my frame painted after some serious mods to my Cotic Solaris

What's the opinions on Matt finish compared to gloss finish with regards to durability?

I'm plumping for a Matt finish over a gloss as I think it'll hide more of the general wear and tear rub marks.

Oh, and the colour is either Ral 2004 (orange) or Ral 5017 (traffic blue) 🙂

Matt is usually harder to clean. Dirt seems to get ingrained.

as above, matt as a surface finish will tend to 'hold' dirt and also on my Scandal tended to show fingerprints etc more.

I'd go for a matt finish in orange with stickers in the same colour but gloss finish.
