Fuel Cap, fairing front and other black parts

[colonial]

Hi folks

Excuse me if this has been asked before. What is the correct black for all the black bits on this bike like the fuel cap brake fluid housing etc. I had a bash with satin black and it looked wrong. That could well be because I am quite possible the worst spray painter this side of east jalalabad.

[Pedda]

Satin matt.

Vielen Dank Pedda, ich glaube ich mussen ein profi betzahlen, das solte viel gunstiger sein als es selbst zu probieren!

Bobster, I am useless with a spray gun/can, and worse with a brush. thanks for the tip though. As I said to Pedda in mangled Beer German, it will probably be cheaper to pay a professional than to do it myself...

Matt satin Black sounds spot on. think I have gloss satin black, so wasn't too far off.

Gloss satin black ? Is there such a beast ? ;0

[bobster]

Jawohl du englander, jetzt sind deutschland wieder uber alles!

I am english and french-Irish, but there is no better language to shout at a rude Parisian than German, they get nervous and start twiching....

There is no better place on earth for a speed fiend like me than on an autobahn, sat in some high quality German metal, on your way to Bavaria or Austria, doing your best to break the sound barrier.

Pedda ich habe keine umlauts hier so.. Ich war im Deutschland zeit 1998 fur der arbeit. das war viel spass, aber ich habe beriets viel deutsch vergessen.

Bobster you have been inhaling fumes on your two wheeled emasculator, or, you spent too much time in the sun as a child like me, Nice one!

I have been indulging in that fine English/German tradition of trying to kill myself with beer, so I will not be held responsible for any comments I have made.

I have tried again with my limited ability, and the fuel cap still looks shite. Thanks for the tips gents. I reckon I am going to have to pay someone else to do it...

So in true french style i shall be switching to wine and surrendering...
