Nicely done! The black looks WAY better than the original gray.
Love your bike, BTW.

Looks great! Nicely done. Got a picture of the paint can? I know you said it was local, but would be made by a larger manufacturer such as DuPont or PPG.

What was the high temperature of the paint? Was it 500 or 1200 degree?

I'll take a pic of the can for you guys this morning. this is such a cheap easy mod guys. Must have cost me $10. I didn't even remove the pipes...heck, i didn't remove a single thing. Just mask EVERYTHING off. Took me about an hour to do.
