the night train cover will match up nicely. After sandpaper, paint, prep, you may just find that the new cover is about the same $.

Rustoleum Texture Black matches the factory wrinkle black pretty close. I did my derby cover with it about 18,000 miles ago, and it held up great.

I was surprised at how little powdercoating parts actually cost. I had both of my rear fender struts powdercoated to match the color and texture of the engine. Only cost $30 for both of them.

Looks like hes got an 09. Those come with silver primary. Not sure if there is
"wrinkle silver" out there. Might just be esier to have it powdercoated a silver
to match.

Must agree here. I have had alot of parts done and the price is honestly hard to beat considering the time, money for paint, elbow grease and so on just to paint it, verses taking it to a shop drop it off and pic it up a couple days later and the coating holds up to abuse alot better. As mentioned above, just adding to putting it out there.

Were you looking for a wrinkle finish? If not the black satin by krylon is very close match to the denim.
