I'm waiting for a couple "swatches" from Prismatic to match my '70 Honda frame paint, which isn't a 100% Gloss Black - more like a 85 to 90%.

I’m using powder from Powderbuythepound, not sure what type it is. I have tried 60%, 85%, and 95% gloss black. 85% is the closest, but it is still a little too shiny. I think a 75% would have been a better match. It’s not perfect, but holy crap does it look nice compared to the flaking paint that was on there previously!
