color code
I often read the forum, I never wrote anything (my poor English does not help me too much)
Today I need your help.
After a small accident and some scratches , I find myself in need of having the front fender painted again (my bike is scorched orange road king special 114) ,
Where can I find the color codes?
Thanks again for your help mark

Since you are in Italy, you are going to have to work with the paint that is available to you.
HD has never publicly released their paint source or the mix formulas that I am aware of.
Rumor has it PPG is the paint supplier.
I would take the damaged part to a paint supply house and have them scan it to give you a base formula.
Give that to your painter, have him do a "spray out" on test panels to see if it matches. If not he may be able to tint it to perfect the color.
Even if you could get paint from ColorRite or H.O.K. , exporting it is an issue.
One of the best Triumph restoration shops ( he was a Triumph dealer in the 60's, he just kept fixing them ) is across the street from my old shop.
He had the paint colors down to a science ( before the days of scanners.... he made the mix himself)
Selling the paint in the USA wasn't hard, he could ship it to people that wanted it, but getting it exported was a problem.
One day I was over there and a woman from Germany walked in and wanted to buy paint for her husband.
She was going to put it in her checked baggage and get it thru customs as shipping it was an issue.

You didn't provide the year of your bike but scorched orange is found as a color for the 2019 RKS. You will also need this base coat.

See if your dealer can send it out to be repaired and refinished. Whenever possible we always give the customer that option, the shop we send parts to is able to do all the HD colors and CVO colors.
