Hi, i scuffed up my driver's rear floorboard mount. Want to sand and repaint it. Anyone know what color or type of paint. Havent done much research,
Thought this could be a start. 2009 road king classic vivid black. Dont want the $90 a quart crap. Thanks

 

Well I don't want to sound like an a$$ but why do you have a 16k bike and then want to fix it with 10 dollar paint?

and in PPG Vivid black is like $3.00 an ounce its the clear that will get you.

also you could just get some black single stage paint from a local supplier a pint would do just fine and have plenty left over.

I would guess you will have $75.00-100.00 into this

 

What shade of black is a Harley frame? Is it vivid black? I have a CVO swingarm that's orange that I was going to paint black with POR 15 gloss black.

 

gloss black rust-oleum matches pretty well. i am resting my chin on a can rite now..

 

Harley dealers sell the paint in a spray can. It's an acrylic laquer paint, vivid black, # 98606c I believe. (just ask for vivid black in a can) I have used it a bunch. It is an exact match. It dries fast and there is no need to clear coat it. You can tape off the section you want painted, and wet sand in the tape lines after it dries. You will not be able to tell it was repainted. Sand the area with 500 ish or finer grit and wipe down with laquer thinner and a tack cloth before you paint.

Here is an example of using it on a semi restoration. The tape line is above the oil tank, and wet-sanded to blend to the old tape.

 

Thanks brothers, I just didn't want to spend more money on paint than what a new bracket would cost. Common sense. Thanks for your time

 

thanks

 

Sweet

 

I painted my chassis with an implement paint for town devices and such. very wide too and can be applied on like the por but its self questing so no sweep cerebral vascular accidents.
