Travis,

That's one good looking bike. It's a keeper for certain. Who made your seat? Looks nice in that color with your excellent graphics.

Very nice!

Man go for it you got a nice sled. Colorrite makes HD paint that matches perfectly and it's a lot cheaper that PPG/HD stuff. I just installed a detachable fairing on my Fatty and I am loving it.

I was told by a reputable shop that they could computer match any paint as long as you could give them a painted item off the bike.

I'll bet the guy that does all of my painting (Darin at Killer Kreations in LuVerne, Ia. 515-341-4141) could match it. I had a HD radical paint set on my 04 Road King and he matched a fairing and tour pak to it and nobody could tell that they werent part of the paint set. Also, I sent you a PM about the fairing, Travis.

I'm not sure what part of the world you're in but there are a number of companies that will spec your paint and mix up a matching color. I'm in the Kansas City area and I've used Auto Color & Equipment over in Independence for over 15 years. When I was in Dallas there were a couple of shops that could do the same.

I had a local paint supply shop use a scanner to match it. While it came out very close, it aint dead on. In the sunlight, its appears perfect. On a cloudy day or at nite though, its a whole nother story. I am going to try a couple other places though. I aint givin up yet.

PM sent back hoz88. Thanks
