Default Painting Black Denim. Anybody go back after Krylon?

I just got my Night Rod fairing for my Denim Street Bob and I need to paint it. I read on one post that several guys used the Krylon Satin black aerosol. I'm not sure if 98606BYM aerosol is still available from Harley. I thought about trying the Krylon but was curios if someone tried and ended up going to a paint shop or trying the official Harley aerosol to compare. Colorrite's kinda pricey and 66 Auto Color's a little high. I don't mind spending that for Color Rite or the 66 stuff if it looks that good. I've done lots of trim work using SEM spray which is amazing satin but a different shade I think.

Thoughts?

I have the color rite black denim and painted a Memphis fairing, it looks about spot on maybe not perfect or I could have not done it right. I might have enough left to spray yours if you want it just cover the shipping. I also bought the bulldog adhesive promoter that they suggested instead of primer. John Deere black blitz is supposed to be almost perfect match too and a lot cheaper.

I'd more than happy to take you up on the offer! Also, thank for the info on the John Deere Black Blitz. Haven't heard of that one. I'll PM about the goodies!

I have the color rite black denim and a rifle fairing waiting to be painted...for 2 months now. I've been too busy to get to it. Quite frankly I wish I had not even bought the paint. Wish I had just gone to a shop to have them do it. Probably wouldn't cost much more and it'd be done by now.
