Default Need Paint Help!!

Hi Guys,

I had a bubble pop on my front fender tip. I will need to get the fender repainted probably over next winter. I cleaned it up and covered it with a chrome tip for now. The issue I have is finding the paint code for the bike. I was told the bike is sinister blue and brillaint silver two tone..But when I look that up it does not look like it was offered in 2005 and when I look at the color samples it isn't even close.
I will post some pictures below..Oh and don't mind the cigar..it was the best picture I have of the side of the bike on my computer.


any help to try and figure this out would be great


thanks

Any decent shop will be able to match that no problem. It doesn't have to be Harley paint for that application, far enough away from the tank and other areas. What's the cigar for though?

That's just a bit of flair. After seeing the sad rust damage he wanted to cheer us back up.

X2 on the paint shop. If it was the tank I'd be more concerned. The front fender would be an easier repair when it comes to paint match. because it doesn't have to be 100% perfect.

In fact thinking of that, why wait till next winter, could have that off and on in a week. No way I could look at that for that length of time.

Here is another site.
Looks like you have 4 Blues to choose from.

My educated guess is Chopper Blue

Go here and put in your VIN, then in the upper right of the vehicle description click on the lined box for vehicle features, it will give you your paint code.
