Talking New Replacement Tank from HD?

I have to have a new tank put on my '08 Glide - will it come from the factory already painted or will my dealer be doing the painting, does anyone know? I'm thinking if it comes unpainted that I'll have the HARLEY DAVIDSON logo left off and just have it painted vivid black. But I assume since it's coming from the factory it'll already be painted.

Ride safe!

Factory color from the paint line of that color day. If just looking for plain tank that has primer that have that painted part day.

You can get it painted or not painted, if you go with the factory painted tank expect to wait at least 6 weeks to get the tank.
