Have a reputable, local paint house match the color, we use House of Color. Unless you are a painter, good luck getting it painted in time. If you are having to do a rush job, personally, I would make the trip in primer, then paint it when I know there is no rush. Just sayin' .

+1 on the primer idea. If you try to rush it you will pay more and may regret it later. Noone in Sturgis is going to care about a scratched up bike.

Sounds like it might be time for a custom paint job with a different color base (like primer gray) if it has to be done that fast. If it was a minor lay down and there is no body work to be down, (just a few scratches) I would say **** it and get it taken care of later. Have a good time a Sturgis and don't let it ruin your time out there. If your batwing fairing, tank and saddlebag had to be replaced, go two tone for the trip and tell everyone it's a custom job.

Seriously though, it took five weeks to get my spoiler lights that I installed on top of my saddlebags color matched with vivid black... and that is the most common color! That time frame did include shipping though, so maybe it was more like three and a half or four. I think you will be lucky to get it done within two. Good luck!

If you don't go custom, your SOL. Go primer!

Layed down my 07 EGC, fender, fairing, tank, complete saddlebag. Was told to expect 6 to 8 weeks from factory for painted.
