Harley Paint
I am looking at purchasing a tour pack and will need to get it painted to match. Does anybody know of any body shops close to New Orleans, LA that has access to Harley paint.

It's a bit of a ride but there is a guy in Mobile that does a great job matching Harley paint...The guys at Mobile Bay Harley gave me his info. Can't find the card anymore though...

Bit of a ride, 2 hours.....thats a great ride on the hog. Ill just feel awkard driving a yellow bike with a blue tour pack lol. ill have to keep him in mind. There is a guy that does it locally for our HD shop, but he wants me to drop 350 just for the paint and then 150 labor. That was for a fender. I think thats kind of steep.

i bought some suede blue pearl paint from harley to have a fairing for a road king painted. took it to a painter in pasadena texas ---MILBURNS---- he told me to return the paint.he then matched up the paint himself and it matched. couldnt tell the difference. any good custom painter should be able to match yours .

One of the local custom painters wont use HD paint.I was looking to get my bags painted a few years back,and he told me he had it mixed at a local paint supplier.I dont know his beef with the HD stuff.
I then checked with my buddy who works at a body shop,and his suppliers couldnt get the pearl;special order only.
So I found out where the custom guy got his paint from;$300 later,I had a quart of flame blue pearl.Perfect match.

.. careful w/the color names you use when ordering
. Yellow Pearl was an '05-'07 color PPG calls it 'Yellow Sparkle'
the Yellow Pearl on the '09 SERG had a different tint
Chrome Yellow was a '12 solid color on the Road Glide
. the '13 SG & LTD were Chrome Yellow Pearl
.. depending on which direction the lights coming from, painted pieces & parts can have a startling difference in look
