don't know how much this will help, if at all. I was looking for some denim black for my xbones and went to my dealer. they have a touch up kit and then they also had it available in an arasol can. Can't remember the quote on the touch up but the shaker cans ran around $22.
Sorry if that was zero help??

Get Krylon Wrinkle Black spray paint at your local Auto Zone.

Works better then HD's.

Get out in the direct sun on a hot day ... spray a good heavy coat,
equivalent to maybe 3 coats all at one time.....and let dry...
of course be sure to tape off where you spray.

Make sure the paint is in direct sun ...not shade...for best wrinkling.

I've used the H-D rattle can. Usually 3 coats, do it in direct sunlight, and let it sit for at least a day or two.

Whatever you do avoid the VHT high temp wrinkle. It dosent match up well at all.

And if you use wrinkle paint and/or BBQ paint (or wood stove paint) for the pipes, buy a heat gun and bake the finish in. Not so close that it smokes though, or you'll have to start over.

Actually, if you leave it in the sun, it bakes pretty well.














But I'm also really lazy..............

I bought two bottles of the HD Wrinkle Black paint and painted every bolt on the struts, engine, primary, etc. I used one bottle on all of them (one coat) and they all look amazing. I'll post pix soon and let you guys decide.
