rattle can black frame paint

[TT5 Matt]

doing a Doc style resto on my ts185k and what brand of rattle can black matches up to what suzuki used in 1973?as the tin i got from repco is just tooo black

[pokey]

I use Septone Acrylic Satin black and a super light mist of clear, it has a bit more grey than the Export brand Gloss Enamel.

Other suzuki owners may know a the correct black for the TS frame. Can recall that some suzuki oem frames were painted in a semi gloss paint. With bright light looked a little grey. I think a close match was made by VHT. 

Friend used Killrust epoxy Enamel on his TM and RM frames with good results.

Have used Rust-Oleum Black Epoxy on my Maico Square Barrel Frame and Koni with shocks with good results.

But this a true Gloss black.

 Dulux and White knight are good spray can paints but are a bit thin and the paint can easy run.

Once you decide on the coulor try the paint place, they can supply 2 pack paint in a rattle can.   About $50
