That looks great just like that Mike!

Thanks guys.
I used Krylon satin black. I did a scratch test on the grip part and it seems to hold up to my finger nail. One more day of drying before I install it.

A little bit of orange peel going there, but still not bad at all.

Yeah but not to bad i would normally sand and give it another coat but i really don't want to do that until i'm happy with the durability of the paint job. I had so much trouble with the paint on the aluminum i just might leave it alone.
