Default PPG colour code

I have searched and cannot find my colour code
07 Sportster 1200R and the Dealer VIN search tells me it is "Red Pearl"

Anyone know?

Don't see it there either.
In any case I need a PPG code so that I can buy it locally in sufficient quantity to paint a fender, and chin spoiler

2007 Fire Red Pearl was a color, PPG lists Fire Red under 909372. I would verify the pearl part.

I have an 07 FLH in fire red pearl. Just had a black tour pack color matched with colorite paint. Perfect match.

Bought the PPG 909373 in water based so a first time for me with water paint. It is supposed to be metallic................
Too cold to spray it today here in chilly Vancouver and will try when it warms up a bit
