Default Denim red

does anyone know the paint code or if HD offers this color???I was looking at the tequila bikes but HD offers no paint and all the custom blends show a different color in the can.So I found a Denim red to mess with but am concerned about color match in the aftermarket and if HD supports it in other than touch up-------------Thanks in advance

Denim is in the clear not the paint.

I understand about the flat clear coat,I also understand I could flatten any color but I wanted to stay with a odd factory color -------with that being said the denim red is the same color as the gloss red of the same year(can't remember what it was called)according to the local dealers paint number.ITs odd it shows they obsoleted the actual denim red and substituted the other at the same time increasing the price $30 per quart
