I cant speak for Demin re: the black holding its color, but on a black bike? Id say go for it,, It Is black, innit? Pictures can fail to show exact color, I guess it could be a dark blue,,
But, Id expect the wrap to stay black,,& If it didnt, you could shoot some High Temp black at it, couldnt you?

I wrapped mine years ago and hi temp sprayed them. The black sorta faded over the years (never washed my bike) but the wrap is holding pretty well.
