Default Black Cherry

I had a 83 Sportster back in the day that had a black cherry paint job that unless it was in the sun it looked black. Thinking of painting my present bike with the same. My Question is whats the darkest black cherry you can get or do I leave it up to my painter to mix something up. Dont know much about paint so any advise is appreciated.

You need to go to any reputable body shop or paint jobber store tell'em your lookin to get some paint work done and they'd have some paint chip/ color swatches to look at. If u told them your looking for 83 sportsters color they most likey aren't goin to know what it looks like. Good luck
