Default Frame Paint

Can anyone recommend a paint that would closely match the stock powder coat on the frame? I have a little road rash on the bottom frame tube that needs touching up.

Thanks,
Rick

Check the HD web site, under motor accessories put in a search word paint.&nbsp\\; I think they sell a frame paint touch up pen you can buy/order thru your dealer.

I contacted HD because I wanted a spray can of matching paint and of course they don't sell one. I called PPG the manu. gave them what I was looking for and they in turn gave me people in my area that could match it perfectly and put it into a spray can. Of course it's a paint and clear application but the paint matched perfectly and went on very easy. Each can cost about $13 but it was well worth it!
