Paint color on triple tree was created by pabdt

74 DT 360. What is that paint color? Is it a semi-gloss black? The book says "Frosting Black". Any good matches out there? I'm looking at powder coating it myself.

My understanding is the bottom triple clamp is gloss and the top is semi gloss. But I’m not totally positive. Honestly though, unless you are building a show bike that will be closely scrutinized just keep it simple and paint both semigloss. Another thought: the bottom is cast iron and the top is aluminum I think. Those aluminum tops look spectacular stripped and polished. Just sayin’.

Thanks. May do lower in gloss and upper in semi. Forget the frosting part.

Polished looks good but going for factory stock look
