The color is Rustoleum Cosmos Blue, which is like a heavy pearl, applied over flat black.

I’m pretty handy with a spray can, and I’m happy with the way it turned out, but, dang is it a lot of work to paint a bike frame!
There’s 5-6 different coats of paint, counting the primer and gold accents; and it took 10 large cans to cover everything , including two for the color-shift and three whole cans of clear gloss.
