Any idea what this colour is on the engine cases. I come across it a lot on bikes and cars, it looks like a king of graphite maybe ?? Often see it on raw dark alloy castings like gearboxes.

Problem is colors are different to different people. To me it looks like Alclad Steel, Stainless Steel, or maybe an Iron color. But then again, I am the guy on the right in this pic.

I ended up with 2 parts satin black 1 part metallic black and 4 parts white....its not really what i was looking for but it will do the job on this bike
