Default Touch up Paint

I bought a set of saddlebag spoilers and need to get the paint to match my bike. My 05 Ultra is Glacier White with Pearl. I checked the internet and the Glacier White is about 90.00 a qt. I really don't think I would need a quart to paint the spoilers. Where can I get maybe a pint? Also, would you paint them Glacier White or pearl?

&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Any GOOD painter should be able to match. just take your bike down for them to match paint. I just repainted all my body parts&nbsp\\;except the rear fender, and you would not know that I left it original. You might still pay $50.00-$100.00 for the job though.

Let us know how it works out for you.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Personally, I think you'd be better off buying the color-matched spoilers from an internet HD dealer (Zanotti's for example) and sell the ones you are planning to paint.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; It's difficult to beat buying the color-matched parts if you have to buy paint/pay a painter/etc. based on my own experience with these items.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I learned my lesson and bought color-matched fairing lowers recently after repainting TP, TP spoiler, and saddlebag spoilersyou can save a few bucks, but not enough to make the effort worthwhile and it's hard to duplicate the quality and durability of HD painted parts IMO.
&nbsp\\;
It's your bike, so do what you want.&nbsp\\; But shooting two-stage color and getting a good match may be difficult.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
Good luck with your project.

I figure what I saved(only paid 25.00)on them and they are new. I can get them painted at a local shop..
