98601DZT -Kit,TU VLCTY RED SUNGLO - When I got it, I had to have the dealer look up my bike by the vin, and it told him the color kit.
One comment or advice about applying. Take a sheet of paper or some cardboard and play around with the mix. The base coat is silver colored paint (this is where the metallic is) which goes under a red clear(no metallic in the red). You will see when you get the kit. If you two step it, letting each dry fully, you won't be happy with the outcome. I found it best to apply the silver metallic lightly, let it dry for 5 minutes, then put the red clear over it. This will reactivate(lack of a better word) the silver and cause it to mix slightly with the red. This "slight" mix will control how much metallic you get. Thus why I suggest do some testing. Hope that helps..

One other comment. When painting a nick, dab, don't swipe with the brush. I saw a video online that gave me this idea. It showed if you try to swiping with the brush, you will make it worse. I think the video was done by Law Abiding Biker on his Amber Whiskey Street glide. Check out youtube..
You will also see each coat shrinks as it drys.. Mine looked like it had a bubble, then as it dried it turned into an indent. I had to apply more on top. Hard to explain, but if you play with you can get it close to perfect (only you will know it's there).
I am not a paint guy, so take this next line with caution. When I messed up the first try on the bike, I simply wiped it off with some rubbing alcohol. This works even after it drys for 10 minutes or so. After 10 minutes or so, you have to use something harsher to remove. Again, not a paint guy here, so YMMV.
