I have been considering various things I can do to my Nexus this year aside from the usual swearing and repairing trying to keep it going. Things planned this year are

Additional Side Indicators - to increase visibility to other road users of my intention... not that I expect them to pay more attention.
Carbon wrapping some parts - silver flashes and the black parts of the front shield.
Shorter Windshield - cutting down and old one I have and either painting it black or wrapping it.

and

Vinyl wrapping the red panels...

Sooo leading to the question...

Do I go matt or gloss white?

Talk to Barry has he has matt blacked his Nexus.

Matt; gloss is soooooo last season, daaaaaarling!

Satin, always looks good, Gloss looks terabel when scratched, Mat looks terible with fingerprints... but not white white especially wrap will look filthy and will never clean up...

your money your choice

Matt would look like primer though... that's my main concern.

I know its my money and therefore my choice, which is why I want white, just can't decide between matt or gloss... satin doesn't appear to be an option.

matt camo green.

Gloss white

I think on this occasion, Pete, i'd go with gloss white, because as you said, with so much bodywork on the Nexus it might look a little primer-ish. The few Matt white bikes i've seen have had fairly small areas of paint, and offset with some shiny chrome or gloss red.
