Finally found some paint that looks like it should do the job. I had to order it online, since you can't get much around here.
I went with Daytona paints, even though they are a bit more expensive, because they had the most positive reviews.
I also had ¥11,000 yen in points saved up so cut the cost by more than half by ordering from Rakuten.
I ordered 3 cans of primer {Daytona X04 Surfacer} and 4 cans of matte black {Daytona 72712 } for the frame, forks, swingarm, and tank.
Then I got a black high heat engine paint {Daytona 75611} as well.
Might not be popular, but I'm going to go with a majority matte black with just some parts of the engine shined up.
I plan on leaving the Yamaha emblems on the tank, as well as the chrome cap. My rear shocks are also chrome.
I'd like black rims with chrome spokes, but we'll have to see what I can work out.
I'd also like a nice set of straight chrome pipes on it as well, but still haven't figured out how I'm going to go about that yet.
