Thanks for the .html link. I contacted them with my requirements. I need the 2003 Ultra Classic fairing and tour pack stripes. They my not have what I need but could probably produce it.

If you order a new one from harley be prepared to wait 6 or more months for it to get back, my friends 103 springer's fender got crunched, In july and he a waited till Nov, when the new one came in

No match yet for the silver. A local company that sells PPG paint thinks it may be a liquid silver rather than the normal silver flecks and it would cost approx $300 per quart. There is no garranty though.

Default Silver Anniversary Paint

Hello Fellas,
I am new to the site also looking to obtain some paint to paint a fairing. I searched high and low, the best I could come up with is House of Kolor sells a matched paint kit for $378.00, that includes one color and all the reducer and catalyst. I have also heard through my search that PPG also makes the silver, haven't searched it yet though. It isn't a harley product but it is the next best thing. They pics of some of the bikes on thier website that was painted with the anniversary silver and it looks good. Think I might give it a try.

I recently put a 200 on my 100th silver/black Fatboy. It took me over a month to source paint here is what I know.
1. PPG makes it but wont sell it to you.
2. You cannot get it from any dealer
3. Supposedly the paint analyzers can't match it either

I did find someone who has hand mixed paint to match it. It isn't 100% probably more like 95% or so it was roughly 100.00 for a 1/2 pint of it.

Here is some pics of mine sitting next to my bro's stock bike.

Here is a close up of the paint aftermarket vs. stock.

Aftermarket:



Stock:




Here is where I got it. I called them and spoke with "Hans"

http://www.cyclecolor.com/index.htm

It's probably best to call if you click the link below and look in the 2003 colors there is two silvers listed you want the one that is Anniversary Silver with the mfg. code of 100 Year Not the Sterling Silver. That one doesn't match.
There seems to be a bit more metal flake in the aftermarket one but to tell you the truth it looks better than the factory paint. IMO.

Oh and I am not affiliated with or know the people at cyclecolor personally this is what I ended up using on my bike personally and I hope this helps someone else out.

Default Paint Matching on the 100TH Anniversary Bikes

That paint comparison of the aftermarket silver versus OEM makes me want to have my 2003 Ultra re-painted! That extra amount of silver flake is really nice!

Yeah in the sunlight its pretty amazing looking. Had my fiance come look at the bike when I had it all together just to see what she would say. She said "the back fender looks better than the rest of the bike". I was thinking it too just didn't say anything until she made that comment.

Thinking about getting a fairing and bags for it now that I know I can get the paint and I like the results. They supposedly keep a control sample to verify the paint every time they mix a batch.
