Search skills not helping me much with this one, I would of thought it was simple but not for me. I have started painting the front end, forks center of the discs, some blots etc and the black I am using is not so black, it is what I have used in the past to freshen other things up but it is obviously not a match. I am enjoying this project and taking more care I guess. I am using Bobcat black, got it to freshen up the skidsteer and have not gotten around to it yet. It is not an old paint new paint thing but a different shade.
Was wondering what people are using, I want to paint the valve covers, mirrors and wheels as well this spring and want a decent match. Have painted the center of the discs with a glossy Tremcald engine black for the heat, looks to shiny perhaps.
Ford Fire Red looks good for the tiny touch ups against the Mystic Red of the bike though if I painted a side cover or any single piece it would be brighter, but I worry about the black and silver of the wheels.
