Ha,ha true, but the important thing is to project the image to the World (well mostly to impress the general public that knows s#it about bikes); "Hi everybody, look at me I'm ready to conquer Patagonia all the Kazakhstan's and Mongolia's on my Super-duper ADV motorcycle" ...middle aged couples walking by, and you can "hear" the wives thinking; "wish my hubby is such a tough and macho man living dangerously
" .............
... I've been told the Honda Matt black sparkly ultra low maintenance finish is sexier and perhaps cooler (
) too.
You ordered in USA?
I was not sure they are taking 2023 orders.. I ordered a 2022 in June 2022 and it was delayed every month until cancelled last month but I found one left at a dealer showroom floor. Local dealer was not sure at that time about 2023 but after last year..... I would not trust Honda's timeline ):
I had a 2018 ATAS and did not like the gold wheels but liked the red/white/blue (anniversay) colors.... the new r/w/b has black wheels that I like.. its all personal preference

I'm confused about the Honda "Matte Ballistic Black Metallic" paint, it seems that the finish is actually NOT "True matte paint" ...apparently there is a clearcoat applied over the matte paint? The touchup kit contains the clearcoat finish. Can somebody with some car painting experience chime in and clarify the whole MATTE thing?
Googled:
Do you use clear coat on matte paint?
MYTH #3: Matte paint is just regular paint without a clear coat. Absolutely not. In rare cases, maybe your aftermarket matte paint job has no clear coat, but if you get it from the factory it definitely will.
Can flat paint be clear coated?
Flat paint must also be sprayed with the same techniques as a standard glossy paint. Apply the sealer first, followed by the base coat, and next the clear coat. On big difference is that flat paint requires a low-gloss or a satin-finish clear versus a high-gloss clear that's typically used in a normal paint job.
MATTE PAINT COATING is a ceramic coating that protects matte & satin paint from stains, soiling, and contaminants to preserve the finish in factory condition. Engineered for active hydrophobicity, Matte Paint Coating repels water to self-clean. Unlike other nanocoatings, it retains the matte finish and will not add gloss.
The touchup kit contains the clearcoat finish.

Seriously though it is not a dull matte finish like you see on some cars and bikes and it does seem to be very durable.
the old granny that told you that was just hitting on you... I've been told the Honda Matt black sparkly ultra low maintenance finish is sexier and perhaps cooler (
she doesn't give a crap about your bike colore
... I wish I had an ol' granny. Last one was in 1977the old granny that told you that was just hitting on you
.But ya, I get it @Dado.
yeah there seems to be some confusion created by marketing, using words they don't understandYou see, we have extra paint and all non-flaking

surprised they didn't add "Military grade Ballistic Ultrasonic Matte Black Metallic"first there was;
- just "woody look"
- then just paint,
- then they added clearcoats,
- then started adding metallic into the paint
- then the matte (flat dull)
- then the whole vinyl wrapping craze
- then ceramic coatings
- and it seems the matte can now be clear coated, and still preserve the "flat, satin, dull" look (who knew?)
What does the manual say in that regard?
my Yamaha FJR1300 manual had this:
sorry... I wish I had an ol' granny. Last one was in 1977
sorry
Since my wife put me on a stupid diet, actually that BBQ looks as attractive as a bike to me right now! 🤭Whatever you do "Don't buy MATT and don't buy BLACK or Dark GREY with no gold rims or shocks.
You HAVE to buy this chick magnet :

Jk,jk of course...buy whatever you like, and don't listen to the AT forum members that made a mistake and bought "black primer only AT's" that look like BBQ's

Matte paint finishes are very sensitive to scratches, even paper towel at the gas station scratched my '17 FJR1300 matte silver, that was my last and only "matt finish" ...they are not terrible, but you can't use "regular" car wash, wax, polishing products.
Matt paint requires different products formulated for matt finishes.
