Default paint color help....please

I'm wanting to paint my bike the same color as the 2011 apple green and vivid black scheme. My local dealer told me they couldn't get the paint (apple green). The local dealership here doesn't have a bike with that color scheme so I could possible match.
Would anybody here know what the color code would be or if someone lived close enough with that color I could match the color? I'd appreciate any help.

I have some experience that you can borrow if you like. Get the paint from colorite.com or harley. I had some luxury teal metalic mixed up by a shop that dealt in ppg paints and it was 3 times the price because of four different pearls in the paint. If you just need the code, look at colorite.com, but good luck beating their prices.

Would the code be marked on my bike somewhere? or in my manual? If it is I can get it.

All below is PPG DBC (Deltron 2000)

Ex11g29 / ppg# 927719 - apple green

for 1 pint
PPG price $72.20
Colorrite $124.95

S27220 / 9850 - VIVID BLACK

for 1 pint

PPG $64.40
Colorrite $124.95

Colorrite is a waste of money.

Should the body shop be able to take those numbers and mix the paint?
Thanks for your help.

yep I can give you the formula if you need it. As long as the shop has a PPG system the 927719 , 9850 are the PPG codes.

the other two codes are Harley codes

the Dupont Code for the Apple green is 852615K can be mixed in Chromabase BC only

Colorite paints are not a good match have had good luck with either DuPont or PPG. Where I work we use mostly DuPont
