What kind of paint is this?

[AaronG]

I would like to do my bike like this one but I am not sure of the paint process and what kind of paint it is. Can anybody help me out?

Officially: I have no idea.

Guess: The color looks flat black on my monitor.

that is my bike. i painted everything and it cost me less the 100 dollar at the most. alot of work went in prep the faring , i sanded everything with 200-300-380. and then painted everything with spray can.but it took me days to get right,. it was not bad at all, but you have to wait for several days to dry the paint. if you want to do at a shop ask them to painted an R1 flat black. it will look even better. good luck

What kind of spray paint did you use?

That actually looks pretty good. But I'm a more "shine-type" guy.

I believe Harley just came out with a very similar color this year.

I believe Harley just came out with a very similar color this year.

pretty sure they are using a spray can too...

I think the first "Flat" Black I saw in production was the Ducati's and their "Dark" series of bikes. Then of Course we had Yamaha with their use of a semi-flat.

Interesting look, nothing like blending in with the asphalt.
