I have a 2007 GSXR 1000, and I'm looking to have the tank and fairings painted gloss black.

On my old bike, a 2002 GSXR 600, I went with GM Jet Black with decent results...





I want to get the deepest possible OEM shade of black for my next paint job. No flake, no pearl, just a nice shiny black with a good amount of clear.

I'll be sending this off to my buddy who's a painter at a body shop. Everything will be properly done as if it were a regular customer's car.

Someone suggested Bentley Black to me...any other thoughts?

 

whats wrong with GM's Black, paint code wa8555. It has 3 colors in it when you mix it with PPG paint, jet black, a dab of white, and a dab of navy blue. But if you just want straight black, with nothing else in it... try out Dupont's 99K. Its just a solid jet black

 

just go to a paint store and ask for some regular black paint.

 

why are you wanting an OEM paint?, on my car i told the shop i wanted the brightest white that they could get and they gave me almost pure white toner, i dont see why it would be a problem with black paint.

 

yeah thats what dupont's 99k is...just a jet black toner..nothing else, nothing more

 

In case I move or have to switch painters, I prefer something OEM for them to reference for paint-matching (if needed).

Any pictures of Bentley Black?

 

ding ding ding strait black toner is going to give you the deepest black ever!
