Get the paint thru your Harley dealer. You'd be surprised, it's really not cheaper to go thru ppg. Any of the places I've found online were more. I paid $130 for a quart thru harley.
if i can get the code we can mix at a body shop, only need a couple of ounces. But I know what you mean, ridiculously expensive.
When I go to the shop tomorrow to talk about my bike mods Ill ask their painter about big blue pearl and what the code is and what paint they use. What they mix etc. They can mix anything and can do any color. Have own mixer in back. PM me and Ill send my email and Ill get it on phone and Ill remember to ask them and shoot it to you tomorrow if they know it.
I just ordered a quart of everything that was needed through LSHD and everything was around $280.00 I believe. Below are the codes, I know I didnt have to order the clear coat or the activator but with this being a new color and possibly hard to match I went ahead and ordered everything through Harley because I dont want to pay to have it repainted.
98628-EK Clear Coat
98628-DJO- Big blue pearl paint
98628-DH- Base paint/vivid black
99825-02 Activator
