I’ve been looking for same for my 1990 fat boy. I know that the actual name for it is Fine Silver Metallic. The HD part # for paint was 98600HW but is obsolete now. I am going to take a part to an auto painter and have them mix me some paint.

An idea could ve to find a car color similar to the HD original. Will be easier in the future if more paint is required. More easy to have a reference to an official car color code. Anyone thst know a similar car color?

Is the color the same on the frame as the rest of the bike on Fatboy 1990? The frame looks darker ln the photos.

Engine paint? No such thing. It’s just plain cast.

Interested in the code also and how successful were the results?
Needless to say i'm in the same boat.
Could do with just a little touch up paint in the meantime until I pull the rear fender (worst). Fender mounts and swingarm (maybe) for painting down the road .
thanks
JK
