Yeah, I just bought a rattle can of HD black cherry paint 20 bucks but they where out of clear. He told me HD paint was PPG and I could get clear anywhere PPG was sold. Nobody carries it here soI will have to order some from HD I guess... Can't believe your dealer told you that!
Any good quality urethane clear will work, doesn't have to be brand specific.

Dupont HC7776S
BASF DC5100
Spies Hecker 8180
Really, hmm... [sm=confused06.gif] I thought it wasa lacquer paint?

Next time you visit your HD store's parts counter, ask to see the HD Paint catalog--usually it's used to order painted parts for bikes with damaged fenders, tanks, etc. In the back it also has PN's for touch-up, aerosol, and quarts for HD colors--jot down the PN's for your bike's colors for future reference.

FYI that book only goes up to 07 now.....with the 08's they started putting a paint matrix on h-dnet and will no longer be listing them in the book. I personally thought it was easier to use the book. Same with trying to use the damn EPC (electronic parts catalog).....I'd rather use the books...much quicker IMO

Your dealer is a moron. [sm=bs.gif] I ordered one several months ago. My bike is vivid black (the fastest color). The kit came with a bottle of vivid black, along with a bottle of clear.

Dawg, thanks for the update on the paint book. I need to add a disclaimer that I'm a civilian, not affiliated with HD in any way and have no more information than would be availabe to a person on good terms with the parts folks at my local HD store.

What colors you need? I can post up the numbers for ya.
My question is a little different.
I just got the kit for m ine ('05 Sunglo Blue) and the top coat bottle is marked Sunglo Blue, but the base is labeled Chopper Blue.
The dealer tells me that's right, but they lie.
Anybody know?

Thanks!
