Im getting a thruxton fairing and im looking for ideas on paint. my bike is the "dark" pseudo matte black and I have red on my tank.

so im probably going to just do matte black but I was wondering what your opinions were, im rather broke and cant really afford a "proper" paint job.

I guess matching is the only way to go but im also trying to think of something that would compliment the dark without standing out too much.

John Deere blitz black it very close, and avaiable in a spray can.

Duplicolor T090 Truck & SUV Universal Black with a top coat or two of Krylon flat clear is a 95% match to original Dark paint, just a little more sparkly.  http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=29.msg398534#msg398534

I painted my SBK front fender with this and it's holding up well after the first season.  I recommend some dark primer to, otherwise you need lots of black to get coverage.
