Default fxs frame color

i want to paint my sissy bar the same color as the frame but i cant seem to find what color/shade black it is to match it.

does anyone here know what color the frame on a 2011 blackline is?


edit.... the frame may be black denim, if that is correct what is the closest match i may find at a hardware store if i am looking at spray paint?

I had to touch up the frame on my old Night Train. I used some Krylon rattle can paint. It looked great and was easy and cheap. I do not know the exact name for the color, but it was a semi gloss black I believe.

the krylon is pretty good stuff, i have used it for a number of different things and materials.

the more i think about it the more i feel 'on the fence' about trying to match the sissybar to the frame or the tins..... tho i do need to touch up the frame where my saddle bags have rubbed the paint down to shiny metal
