I ordered a klockwerks fender for my 2019 road king s and need it painted midnight blue. I had a few parts painted successfully by a local shop, but they were vivid black and that code is readily available. However a search here and on google got me nowhere. I know I can buy the paint from Harley, but most shops like to use the system they are familiar with.
Does anyone know the code of 2019 Midnight Blue, or what paint manufacturer the parts counter paint is?
I spoke to my friend at my dealer and he is going to get me a price to get it painted by the shop that does all their work. What I've paid for outside work in the past (powder coating) seemed right in line with what I'd expect to pay directly, so they don't seem to mark up much, or maybe the shop discounts for them. Who knows, but its worked for me in the past. I'm good with that.
What do you think painting a front fender should cost? New, unpainted, with "e-coat" basecoat.

Want to laugh? They gave me two prices from two shops. Get ready... $800 and $600. Yeah, no...
The 600 guy I've used before to match CVO paint on a cafe fairing for my old FXR2, and paid 500. I didn't have a problem with that, as he had to match the pearl paint, and did a fantastic job, but those prices are plain nuts. So I ordered a quart of harley paint and catalyst for 130 and will have a local body shop paint it for around 150. Done.

Thanks
Have a Body Shop scan something on your bikes pained area of an area that's nice enough for then to scan. If you are painting one of your bikes we all see in your posting just to let you know Black is one of the hardest to match believe it or not. Or you could go on searching here and there for your answer, you just might get lucky and find it.

I'm not sure where you got that price ($130) for a quart of paint and catalyst from a Harley Dealer but here in So Cal @ Palm Springs Harley (just called them) just a qt.of the paint is over $200 without catalyst as our paint doesn't require catalyst or hardeners a (Calif. Compliance thing, go green deal). Any Auto Paint Stores here charges $140 a pint.
PS; just realized your paint is Midnight Blue (opps I said Black) ether way a qt. of paint is $200+ here.
