Anyone know how the satin black is done on these, and could a good paint shop do this on a car?
At a guess Id say that it was done with a loo brush. It is the bottom of the line finish for Ducati and if you look closely at say a Monsters gas tank, well it sort of looks like black primer. Until I saw it in the flesh I thought it was really cool. One look at a bike parked on Robsen St. changed my mind in a hurry. Any fender shop could spray matt black of that quality on a car, during lunch break and for McDonald vouchers. Masking the windscreen might cost you a bit extra.
My m750 Dark had a matte black finish that couldn't be done by just any shop! It is a matte black with metal flake, they don't clear coat it which leaves it looking matte. It looks great and very mean!! Mix that with carbon fiber fenders/cans/seat cowl and you have one sweet looking bike!
Was it this one, I thought it looked good, was the quality of the finish high? Image Unavailable, Please Login
Yeah, any paint shop should be able to paint any color you want in a matte finish, not just black. You can also get a semi-gloss that has a little shine, go to a body shop and ask around.
Oh yeah the finish was excellent(factory), but it wasn't clear coated so you could see the matte & metal flake a wild combo really. Here is a better pic I just found on the net....don't know if I have any pics of mine left or not. Image Unavailable, Please Login
