Bed liner paint "Duplicolor brand", although not on either of my bikes. I have used it on two gun stocks.

Have yet to fade, mar or scuff in way, just be sure to prep the surface prior to finishing.

Not sure about the bedliner products, but I used VHT wrinkle black on quite a few items now and it matches pretty close to the Harley factory wrinkle black.

Here are a few of my parts I did tonight. I used the RustOleum Truck Liner. A couple of side panels and my lowers. I am happy so far.

I'll second the Rustoleum Truck Bed Liner. Good quality, easy to apply, inexpensive, and holds up well. And while it might be a "fad" to some, there are others of us who went thru the "shiny paint syndrome" years ago; now it's all about riding time. Wrinkle black, flat black, bedliner; it's all good if it does what you want.

I don't think I have ever said, "I would like to ride more but my paint is too shiny." I can't make the connection.

Spray can, and only two coats. They already feel durable as hell.

Wait one to two mins between coats per instructions on can. Says you can apply additional coats up to 1 hr or after 24, but I am pretty happy with them now. It applies so much easier than regular spray in my opinion. Cost about $7.50 at Walmart. I plan on hitting the fairing with it next.

LOL, if it's shiny, most people tend to do the wash/wax routine. Wash/wax time is wasted riding time. (It's a bit of humor; wasted it appears.)

It's funny how that has nothing to do with what the man is asking...I don't know of anyone who doesn't want their bike to be personalized.Always a hater lurking around!
