How about some flat black decals to give it a " shadow" effect?

Doesn't matter when it comes to rocks, lol. Rocks will win on the trail. Most people prefer their parts not be powder coated so they can paint them whatever they want, and touch up is easy. Not easy to do that with powder.

Very true. Rocks KILL my painted wheels though. Even the machined surfaces..

Ok i am thinking a little outside the box on this one. Why dont you do the complete opposite of a blackout and paint the whole thing chrome. You said you want to turn heads and what else will turn heads than shining everyones eyes? Could be pretty cool or pretty ghetto but I just thought I would shoot out a crazy idea. Get away from being blacked out its overplayed. JMO
