I like the design on it but everything i use is usually matte black.
Would anyone buy a full Steadicam Rig that can support heavy and light cams for 2k

Having a good camera stabilizer at 2K, maybe even an optimized "machine" sth that takes stabilzing to a new level, would be to good to be true.
If you actually manage to do sth new with your design and get experienced steadi-opps to testify this, there will be no reason not to sell this at the same or a higher price tag as the leading brand.
(The first mini35 alternatives were aming for a 500$ tag, but at the end settled around 1K...)
Maybe keep in mind from the start to do as others did: make a big gun for the high-end and sth smaller for all the "HVX size" production out there...
Anyways, all the best to you and keep going, this spirit fuels the community here!

To comment on what what Curtis said earlier about matte black. Production gear, particularly gear that will move, is most often matte black. This reduces reflections in glossy surfaces when shooting. Without this you will find yourself covering the thing with gaffers tape or cloth.

I believe the finished model would most likely be flat balck powder coated.
