Repainting silver denim street glide???
I have a friend who gently dropped his street glide last week. It is an 07 street glide in silver denim. He scratched the front fairing a bit and the bags.
I've never dealt with the Harley denim paints, but how do you get them repainted? Can I buy paint from Harley and take it to a bodyshop? Or is there anything special to having a denim paintjob redone? He likes the color and only needs the bags and fairing done, and doesn't want to go for a full custom paintjob right now.
Any info or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I got a rock chip on my 2009 pewter denim fairing and bought some touch up paint from my dealer. Beware - there is a "silver denim" and a "pewter denim" available. I never realized there was a silver denim.
Be sure he gets the right color or he could be disappointed.
I'm afraid to do it myself so I was going to call an auto repair shop. Chip left some original paint in the middle so I need someone to smooth it back out first.

So is my 2009 according to my documents and Harley web site color choices. I'll double check before I get it touched up though.

the pewter pearl and denim are the same base color, the only difference is the clear coat. The denim is a flat clear, PPG has a great match for it. If its just a bags and a fairing, call or send a message to Fatbaggers.com They have done some denim work for some other guys on this board.
