Thanks for all the photos guys. I would like to see a Kuota Kredo re-done in a flat clear-coat. I just bought a used Kredo and the stock clear-coat is falling off all over the place. I got it for a real deal and am looking at clear-coat options. Trying to decide between gloss or matte. I am leaning now toward matte. The kredo frame is just georgous. I, however, would like to keep all the stock stickers and such but the painter said it is difficult to keep them on and take off just the old clear-coat, so it would cost a bit more. Still undecided really. Today I completely stripped the bike down to frame. Looking forward to making her beautiful again.

Funny thing, a couple months ago I gave a guy shi* for getting a flat black bike, and now here I am going the same direction... Sorry guy!
