Default 1978 superglilde fxe paint code

I'm looking for the PPG paint code for a 1978 superglide. The color is orange\red. Depending who you ask some people say its red and others say orange. I'm restoring this bike since I had one back in the day..................... Frank

You could get the 78 in a blue red or brown; don't believe orange was ever an option




And check out the Shovel forum on this site. Lots of folks with a heck of a lot of knowledge.

My 78-1/2 in Metallic Blue
