Ask the parts guy for the HD paint book that covers the year of the bike you are concerned with. If HD used the color, it will be in the book for that year and model bike. It will have a part number for ordering quarts, pints, and touch-up and even aerosol cans for some (IIRC). If it's a Screamin' Eagle color you are out of luck since they are sold only in touch-up size.
Alternatively, send an email using Zanotti's internet parts ordering link and give the year, model, and color name--they'll get back to you in a day or two, usually with that type of inquiry.
I sent you a PM with a link to another website with PPG paint codes for HD colors, though there was no "Brandywine Sunglo" listed.
I did manage to get some Hd info. The color Brandywine Sunglo is made up of Fire Red Pearl base and a Brandywine tinted top coat. I got the HD part numbers to order, so I may have to go that route.
The guy that I lined up to paint for me has a big computer color mixing system and it would be easier if he could match the oem, but if not, I'll call Zanottis.
