Matt paint's more difficult to clean though, as it's not smooth - presumably showing up bug splats/scuff marks alot more.

I had an FZR and I had it sprayed Light blue and deep purple and it looked awesome!!!! Shame I have no pics but why not go for something a bit different not a race rep and mat black is a tad boring in my opinion!!! BOLD COLOURS work well!

Plain matt black, no logos, I like.

If it gets too dirty, just put another coat on Smile.

rofl... that's an idea. if it is a matt colour... does it still need a lacquer?

if you paint it matt black , do not attempt to polish it, or lacquer it!

Don't use matt black paint, as it will shine up when you wash the bike. Use satin black.

Praying (Laughing )

There's nothing you can do to my knowledge.

I'd leave it stock mate. Looked nice last time I saw it, plus a re-spray will devalue the bike.
