2019 cvo paint code
Do any of you guys know where to get the paint code from, looking for 2019 cvo Black Forest. I want to paint a license plate holder but cant seem to find this paint code anywhere.

Not looking for tins, I have a 2019 cvo, I'm gonna buy a curved yaffe cvo license plate holder and i want to have it painted to match the fender. Seems like paint would have to be available, what if I wreck the bike and have a private shop fix it, how do they get the paint?

You cannot buy CVO paint, nor will the MoCo release any paint codes or pigment specs. If you want to paint something a CVO color, your only option is to find an experienced painter who can try to match it.
Edit: If you wreck the bike, you have to buy new painted parts. No other option. And, I've been told, although I don't know it to be true, that in order to buy the replacement part you have to have a CVO VIN, and the MoCo will only sell you a given part once per year, to prevent you from reselling otherwise unavailable parts.
Which means, if this is correct, if you're in a crash and replace a fender, and then a week later your bike falls over in your garage and crumples that new fender, you can have another one in 11 months and three weeks. I hope this is only one of those "internet myths", but...

OP- Call Custom Painted Vehicles in Franksville, WI. We send a lot of work to them, and they have successfully matched the CVO paint. You will probably have to send your part to them since they do not retail just the paint. Very nice people to work with. They'll need your VIN, year, model, etc in order to get everything looked up.
