The good news is the Olive Gold is available and is a two stage color - very easy to match for any competent painter.

The painter I have doing my lids says he can custom match your paint TG. I showed him a couple pics of your bike and he was confident he could handle it. He said if you want to try it, send him a lid or side cover this winter and when he gets a match, he'll call you to send lids.

This guy is truly great at his profession. I checked out a tp that he painted to match a SG Cvo, custom stripes and all. All colors were custom matched in his shop.

Don't send a side cover,you'd be surprised how few of them actually match the rest of the bike. Most people don't notice it, but I've seen many that were several shades off. (everyone will be checking out there bikes now, lol)

I switched back to factory painted lids with American Hard Bag horn kit w/hertz st25 and 6x9 HAT's. The install was detailed but very impressed.
