Default Paint color

Check the owners manual, I would suggest. If not on the steering head is the bike is the VIN code which probably has the paint code included. You can also search on your year and model on the web, it will be out there and you can find the colors it came in for that year.

I'm not aware of any Harley publication that will give a universal color code. You can go to your local dealer with your VIN and they will be able to get the name of the color and the HD number but, that HD number doesn't match anything in the Dupont, PPG, House of Kolor, etc.paint codes. You'll have to find a "converter" on the 'net.

Important Note:

Make sure you know your Harley-Davidson color code and are not ordering based on the color samples shown which may be inaccurate. We cannot guarantee a match on paint for Harley-Davidson Colors because we do not have color chips. However, in most cases our match is excellent. There are No Refunds and we recommend you send us a part for custom matching. We will not remix this paint even if the color does not match.

Sure it's not a '12 model? That was the first year of production for the Switchback.

The color name you're looking for is Ember Red Sunglo.

I have ordered from them in the past. Match was spot on. Its a standard disclaimer.
