Default considering flat black, ideas?

alright....im thinking about going for a solid flat black for my bike...i just saw on here a guy w/ a similiar bike to mine all black...it looks hot...plus it would b a good way to get rid of all the scratches in my paint...and not have to worry if i drop it again(knock on wood i dont)
so anyone have any ideas/thoughts/suggestions on whether or not to do it and how easily and how much it would cost to do

and yes, i am already considering the fact that i will be invisible aside from my lights at nite...and im thinking some really cool neon colored/reflective stickers...

im not sure, this idea is completely in its infancy...and i just wanted some outside ideas...so try to keep the bashing to a minimium

I personally do not like the look of flat black[:'(], makes it look like a cheap spray paint job. Other than that, my bike is black and I dont have any problems being visible at night.

Have you ever seen those cars that drive around only in primer? Painting it flat black would give me that impression about your bike. Go Glossy and clearcoat it. Take pride in your ride.

My vote is for flatblack bike with stockglossy honda wings. I've seen that type of thing on tapeworks.com. I think it was a gixxer with tribal flames, but same idea. Check it out http://www.tapeworks.com/GENERIC%20Images/5548c.jpg
