Thanks Hdbkstl, They used a product called Opti-coat. It took them about 4 days to complete it but well worth the wait. You are correct black is a pain to keep up that's the main reason I had it coated. I have a black pickup that was coated 4 years ago and still looks like new.

Opti-coat is good stuff. The stuff that shops use and the stuff that we can buy are different. I came from the car world, and detail on the side (as a hobby). My wife forbade me from ever buying another matte anything. That's why i went with the twisted cherry. Your bike is really nice.

Yes Dr David Ghodoussi has been involved with car paint with the major car manufacturers for a while now. Optimum Car care are his products.
