Rocker paint question
Ok, i want to replace my front fender but the dealership told me that they wouldn't be able to match the flame job that Harley put on the rocker and the paint might not be a 100% match because Harley's clear coat is powder coated on the bike.
If this is the case then how did you guys that got the Heartland kit get the flames and the paint on your replacement fenders to match????

well. here is the story. the dealership chipped my rear fender and they offered to buy me a new one. i came up with the idea to save them some money by me keeping my fender (that they chipped) and instead of them having to buy a new one ($800-$900) they would chop my rear fender for me. Here is the cut i want to make to it, It's the first fender from the left (Athena).
As far as my front fender, i'm gonna go with a Paul Yaffe original "wild" front fender.
that's where my problem with matching the blue pearl paint on my rocker and the flames on the tank comes in.
they told me that they wouldn't be able to do an exact color match. Makes no sense to me that a Harley dealership wouldn't be able to match the paint on a current production bike.

If you are replacing both the front and rear fenders, why not just have the tank painted too? I know it's added expense, but if you're doing the rest, why not do the tank too? Then you'll have a one of a kind and won't have to worry about paint match. Maybe even go with a different tank, sell yours on ebay along with the fenders as a set. Maybe a tank like this one:
