Ceracoat gloss black is almost a perfect match for OE Honda black and super durable

Im a big fan of cerakote. Just did some clamps and hubs with it. Ive done powder and paint before, but Cerakote is what Im using from now on.

Duplicolor or SEM from the local auto parts store for a decent quality aerosol. Grab a flat and a satin, you'll be set.

I'm getting into Cerakote lately too. It is supposed to be more durable than powder coating, goes on thinner and resists chemicals.
Here are some KTM 65 hubs I did a couple weeks ago. The first picture is gloss black without clear coat. And the second picture is after cerakote gloss clear added.

Really appreciate the input, but I’ve got an NOS bit with a bit a shelf wear but otherwise good finish to the stock paint and just want to touch up those nits with something like the Honda touch up paint pens for cars. But sounds like a blast of satin black in a bottle cap and a light brush would do it.
