Paint problems
Wondering if anybody has any information on why Harley-Davidson makes it so difficult to match their paint! I recently installed a Memphis shades batwing on my 2006 softail . Dropped it off at the body shop to get painted to match the color of the bike which is according to Harley-Davidson is chopper blue. They ran it through their computers cannot find it, found a match somewhere and it is not the right shade. They took pictures and ran it through the computer and it comes up as chopper blue, but once painted it's a different shade,close but no cigar. Isn't that the manufacturer is being a snob and does not want anybody to know their paint mix? I know, manufacturers have it in their vins, why wouldn't Harley-Davidson have it in theirs. If anybody has any information on why they do this or even where to find the proper color matches with their paint please let me know. Just had to leave the whole bike there so they can match the paint better. I posted this in general chat but got no response, maybe here is a better spot.
