Gloss vs matte vs chrome graphics: which finish to pick

The laminate on top of your graphics changes how colors look and how the kit survives roost.

Gloss

Deepest colors and easiest to clean. Shows scratches a little more.

Matte

Stealthy look that hides scuffs, but mud stains can sit in the texture. A quick-detailer helps.

Chrome and holographic

Huge visual impact for show bikes and kids' bikes. They cost more and scratch more easily, so many riders use them only on shrouds. Show-bike finishes pair well with galaxy dirt bike graphics and kids dirt bike kits.
