Source for Vivid Black
I have a Fatboy front fender I want to put on my Heritage. The bike is vivid black and I want to paint the fender, pin strip it. Can the paint be had from any source other HD?

Try ColorRite at www.colorrite.com . I've had good luck with their matches for HD colors. Also, I spent ten years in the paint business- unless you're building a show bike where color match is critical, you'd never see a slight color difference on the fender. You might be able to pick out color differences say between your tank and the frame under it where they meet but if you've got a seperation betwen the two pieces it will be hard to spot unless the color match is way off.

bdavis, if you go to an auto body shop with the PPG paint mixing capability, give the guy PPG paint code 9850. He'll enter it in his computer and it should come up as HD Vivid Black. It will tell him how to mix the paint--don't know what the mix is, but that's the PPG paint code for vivid black.

Black is Black - it's literally the only color that's all the same. Any quality black basecoat with a good urethane clearcoat will match your Vivid black. Any good pinstriper will be able to match the pinstripe color.
