originalracingsnake Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Satin Black Enamel is an exact match, in those aerosols you can find in the DIY shops. I've used BBQ satin black and that works too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriGGer Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Halfrauds Satin Black is also a bang on match for GSXR satin black ..... don't ask me how I know ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilchicken0 Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Isn't Halfords black an acrylic paint ... it's not very durable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaighn80 Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 most cars are now painted with acrylic based paint too, its not too bad so long as you can find either a mat finish lacquer or a satin one, i seen to remember that halfrauds do a matt finish, ive painted a car not so long ago with acrylic and its quite good but very time consuming, you have to make sure that each coat is dry before you do the next or it just falls off the panels, i found myself going round the car with 2 heat guns to speed things up, not sure if it was any quicker but it kept me occupied whilst the paint was drying and removed the temptation to bang on another coat too early.
