Default touch up paint ????

I just purchased touch up paint for my 2014. Just needed the Mysterious Red Sunglow. The container came with Mysterious Red Sunglow and Charcoal Pearl . I am assume you apply one first on to the chip and then the other ! Any help would be great ! I had a person pick it up for me so that is why I didn't ask the parts dude how to apply it . They r closed to today so I thought I would ask on here .

Thanks

Bandit

I would think the pearl is the top coat, to give it a "gloss" effect, but l' m no expert. Maybe you could experiment.

I have a Big Blue Pearl Street Glide.
The touch up paint is 1 container of Vivid Black and 1 container of "Big Blue Pearl" which is actually a tinted base of clear coat.


I couldn't believe it until I applied it but.....I apply a thin coat of the Vivid Black, let it dry, then come back with the "clear"....It turns the black into, Big Blue Pearl......


Yours may be similar...Apply the Charcoal, then the red.....


I have no idea if that is correct.
