I think they just don't want every yahoo out ther painting there honda's and suzuki's with their paint

 

take a piece of your bike to the body shop whey you get it painted so i would take your front fender down with the rear and tell them that you want it to match the front. if its just plain black they should have no problem matching colors

 

I want to paint my fatoy in vivid black as well and also am looking for a painter in northern NJ....

 

Well I have to admit for once I dealer tried to save me money! When I asked for a price on vivid black paint he told me not to waste my money and just bring another tin to the body shop so they could match it.

 

My dad has a body shop in delaware and I painted some parts for my night train. We just used a black that was left over from painting a car and it matched fine. The vivid black is just black. There is no metalic or pearl or anything in it as far as I know. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

 

Vivid black is just black. Correct you are...

 

Thanks for the help all. My new fender is at the painters now. Can't wait to put it on.
