Default None.

The black is going to scratch with silver showing underneath...

Even if it doesn't, it's going to look like dingleberries in short order. You do know what dingleberries are right?

Get a new/fresh piece and leave it alone.... or buy a billit alum piece from BMR.

If the black scratch off ill probly use paint thinner and remove all the paint and start over with base coat clear coat system.

Well the billit are going for $100, i might get one some day but for now ill probly keep it black.
