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.

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.
