[Closed] Invisiframe: Matt or Gloss

Hi All,

About to pick up a new bike in a couple of weeks and it will be Invisiframed before it leaves the house.  However, I can't decide on Matt or Gloss.  It's a bright orange Scott Spark 29er so possibly the Gloss coat will make it even faster?!!

Any opinions on the finish of Invisiframe and if one just looks better or is harder wearing?

Pick the one that matches the bike. otherwise it will look crap.

I'd go with whatever matches the paint finish as its not a complete wrap, just sections to cover the high wear areas. Could look a bit naff otherwise.

If it's a gloss paint finish go for gloss invisiframe. Matt works best on raw carbon finish or matt black fork lowers IMHO.

That makes sense.  It is shiny orange carbon so it looks like the gloss.

Now just the fitting!!!

All good advice - go with what most closely matches the factory paint - otherwise it isn’t ‘invisi’!

Take your time and enjoy it - I find it quite therapeutic!
