Question about painting please
I have decided to change a few things on my Street Glide and add stretched bags and a wide rear fender.
I have found the items I would like to use and they both are pre-sanded and ready to go.
My question actually comes from my painter as I would simply like to paint them the same color as my bike is today which is Black Cherry Pearl.
Is the factory paint job that came on my bike a single coat or does it have a mid-coat on top?
Not sure if that is the correct way to ask or if that even makes sense but that's the best way I can explain what he was asking me...
Obviously I had no idea & thought I would just go to a HD dealership and get a quart of my paint and give it to him...?
Thanks for any advice you can give.

I just painted my tour pak today for the softail. Black cherry pearl, PPG Deltron #905951.
This is a single stage base coat, then top coat with clear. I sprayed two coats of the black cherry and two of clear. My base for paint was gray sealer. I paid 97.00 for a pint of black cherry, keep in mind the material adds up quick.

The pearl colors and standard metallics (and vivid black) are not tri-coat systems. Lots of Harley colors fit this description.
