I did mine in nason satin. Seemed about right. I had flatener to add, but it was very close without. You may have seen my post about rotating it with bolts inside, but in the end phosphoric acid did the heavy lifting. Sounds like you are past that stage. Good luck

Some say L43 Grey/Black but, I'm not so sure. I think it's "blacker" (insert Spinal Tap humor here) than that.

The tank is pretty clean, managed to get some of overspray from a prior crappy repaint in different color.

Paint is pretty clean, non-rust and the lower part of the tank probably is close to what it looked like, out of the factory.

Will see what the bodyman/painter says, and report back, with some pics when done...

Thanks
