are you talking from the factory? as far as I know they always used to supply new tin, depending of what part is needed, to my knowledge, they wern't repaiing and repainting, but that could have changed in the last year or so. in which case paint was always perfect, as it came new anyhow

The local paint shop has been repairing CVO's just finished an 04 SERK last week perfect match.
Might want to do some inquiring locally before you wait for Harley

I had an accident in April with my Black Pearl RG (non CVO) and Progressive had all the scratched parts repainted...only the front fender was ordered from HD.
The painted stuff was sent out and came back in 2 weeks....looks good to me.

Typically you have to wait until HD paints that color. They run a rotation on the colors that they are spraying. When you get your parts depends on where you are in the rotation. On standard parts typically it's 2-8 weeks. CVO paint I have no idea.

re paint
It is my understanding Harley sends out their repaints on tourpacks. I am geting my lower trunk lid repainted as we speak. I was told it will take 28 days.

Correct me I am wrong but I am under the impression that the MoCo will NOT sell their paint to anyone to take to a local painter for a repaint job. Perhaps the Dealers CAN get the paint but only allow THEIR painters to have for jobs THEY send them??
