what's up with the Flat Black paint?

I've seen a few posts on here about painting the bike "flat black" as the new thing.

Maybe I'm just old or something, but I'm not sure I could get into that color,

although I am considering painting gloss black.

Anybody have a picture of their flat black bike?

That's it, Timmy? 2 short responses? Really?

Personally I like something with a bit more visibility, paint certainly isn't most important, but every little bit helps.

You know, if the 5th gen didn't have that dorky looking headlight setup I would be a lot hotter on them visually. Give Timmy's bike some bronze powdercoat to the wheels, a left-hand exhaust to better show off the SSSA, and then something about the lighting... RC45 style upper for instance would look like a million dollars. I'm talking 'sell the 6th gen I'm finding a 5th' style hot.

Dayum, Timmy, I don't think I've ever seen a picture of your bike before. Is 'pretty' the right word to use?

And to think I spent all that time colour matching the V35s, when I should have been painting the bike...

Here you go, it's called "asphalt" but when I had to order some touchup paint from Honda it was called "gunpowder."

I love those asphalt sixth gens.

Here's a pic of my bike when it was satin finish. Dedumboed too.n1092398558_30191322_4355.jpg

Now she looks like this. Still need to do the wheels though.

timmy, is your car flat black too? :goofy: :fing02:

as soon as I build a more bike-friendly bed and find the stock steel wheels, this whole thing will be dipped in rhino-liner.

Black is definitely best!! In fact I liked it so much I bought a second VFR and made it Asphalt too. :goofy:

What paint did you use for your muffler covers and pipe cover? That's pretty speshull!! You might like the 06+ turn signal and tail lights, That was my project late last year. I'll post up when I get home but I think there are a few 'Asphalt w/06 lights' pix around here.
