yeah, they have spray cans, different colors, red, black, clear, some others, but I only buy black.

it dries matte. apply it lightly, one or two passes, let it dry for about 20 mins, and re-apply. 2 coats makes for a strong finnish. add more for more strength.

I will post pics of the dash tomorrow when I am done. They come standard wrinkle black on the fatbob and other dyna's in 2011, not sure where to buy one, so I plan on spraying it too. Unless someone wants to trade wrinkle black for gloss.

Looks good...can't wait to see the rest so I have some idea what it might look like on my bike. Was thinking about doing the fork lowers.
