true
but even the color right stuff won't always match
shoot even yamaha can't make it match themselves
i had to tweak and tweak mine with blues and purples till i was happy with my match

yeah... it's the closest though... that purple blue color is horrific to match... they really should have stuck w/ black or white w/ graphics

For sure. The black SJs are 10X sexierurr:
yeah... Black is the easiest color of all to match cause there is only one black, unlike every other color has so many shades

That's not always true there are many shades of black and many shade of white; go to paint store and ask to see the mix formula you'll be surprised to see what other colors are in there.
If you paint it with pure black pigment with the binding agent I'm almost sure it wouldn't be a perfect match.
Also if you having trouble with them mixing the right color ask them to put a small sample of each pigment in a separate container so you can perform the color match, a lot of paint stores will do this for the same cost as the paint.

that's what i had to do
when i got my " superjet blue" form blowsion it was way off. i took it to the local auto paint store and she hooked me up huge with all the tints i could need . pro bono.
strainers and cans etc. then she told me how badly i got robbed :thinking:
finish master is awsome
oh yeah but back to black
when i used to have my black jeep it was rough matching the black too
but at least on somthing that dark that absorbs light it's harder to see the difference

I've used sherwin williams automotive paint, and it was a near perfect match. And as far as black, there are many shades of. I worked in the auto paint industry for about a total of 17 years. Black is probally the second worst color to white to color match.
