Bike looks great. What is the brand name of paint and primer are you using. Has anyone found a perfect match to the stock wrinkle black???

So the 2 paint and primer products i used were as followed.

Primer:



Paint:



Paint is identical to the Night Train wrinkle black.

Process i went through was.

Step 1: Sand chrome back to bare metal using 320 Grit Sand Paper.

Step 2: Spray 1-2 coats of Primer, leaving for 24 hours to set.

Step 3: Spray with Wrinkle Black paint. First coat horizontal. Leave set for 10 mins. Second coat Vertical. Leave set for 10 mins. Third coat angled. Leave in sun to cure for 6 or 7 hours. Leave for 48-72 hours before reassembling.

I sprayed a set of pipes I made with the vht, it holds up great if you follow the curing directions. Got mine online then found it at autozone.
