Any suggestions on a brand of paint that is actually matte black?

My guess is someone swapped caps on the paint cans in the store. Probably the same kid that loosens the salt shaker tops.

Besides the color, did you bead or sand blasted the chrome ? that is the best way to go before apply paint.

Wasn't me. You can't prove anything.

I like VHT epoxy enamel, but it's more satin than matte (flat).

Default Love my Lepera Seat

I replaced my 2nd HD seat with the Lepera Daytona. It feels hard as a rock but is actually a very comfortable ride. It absorbs bumps outstandingly!!! My old HD seats used to literally bounce me in the air, they SUCKED and were dangerous. Now, I go over bumps with the Lepera seat and I'm as solid as a rock. Highly recommend!!! They also look great and are very well made.
