I used harley davidson texture paint. It's not deep black, more a dark charcoal colour, with a light texture finish.

If you mask the lettering/fins before spraying you won't get paint between the fins :wink:

if you take it to an engineering machine shop after you spray it they will be able to skim over the fins,just like when they skim a the face of a head,it'll look perfect!
