That color is hard to find on that fender and if it was me I wouldnt get picky. My orig color pacific blue pearl is even harder to find and I am always looking for a new tank and fender. I think it was linited to two years. Prolly out of you price range.

Make sure they know HD paint. It is a lacquer paint under clear.

She said "oh wow, that sucks". Lol
I am spent quite a bit of $ doing the upgrades I have done in the last few weeks, just can't afford now to get the whole bike painted. I am leaning towards just taking it to a body shop and seeing how much they will repair it for.

Before I spent $425 for a tin that didn't match, I will, either get it repaired (even if it cost more) or pay my buddy that lives in GA to do a whole new paint job, which he will do for $1200 and he does incredible work.
Hopefully a repair job won't be more than $500 and be done with it and be able to keep my kick *** OG color. :-)

OK, cool I didn't know that.
I was going to start by contacting a dealer or two and seeing who they would use for a job like this. I don't know any body shops in my area so I figure they can start me in the right direction.

Yea, that's the one thing I loved about the bike is the color. I have never seen one in my area....nit that there isn't one, I have just never seen one.
