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?

 \\; \\; 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 \\;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.

RE: Touch up Paint
Let us know how it works out for you. \\;\\\\\\; 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. \\;\\\\\\; 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. \\;\\\\\\; 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.

It's your bike, so do what you want. \\; But shooting two-stage color and getting a good match may be difficult.
 \\;\\\\\\;
Good luck with your project.
