Mick,
When I did this mod on my son's Ducati M796 I did just that. I sanded the piece and painted it flat black. It looks great. The flat black simple license plate frame looks best IMO too. Using a flat black plate frame, stainless steel hardware looks best. Chrome stands out too much and standard bolts tarnish in time. Stainless has a nice flat but smooth finish that goes good on the black.
