Default 1977 paint code

I have a 1977 fxe which is painted red . I am not sure if it is a Harley color or not but I suspect that it is. Does anyone know of the names/ codes for reds used in 1977 and of a source to obtain it for touch ups?

It is called Brilliant Red.

Forum member is selling his 1977 FXE in that color.



You might try contacting him via pm

John Pierce at ColorWrite sells the paint but I do not know if he sells it in "touch up" size bottles http://hdpaint.tk
