Trying to find the paint code for 09 color candy rootbeer p/u a faring and want to have it painted try to buy it at HD and was told not available.

 

Did you look on the HD website? I'm finding a Light Candy root Beer inner faring there.

Look for part number 58468-09CWT
MSRP US $529.95

 

Take it to a local Paint Shop...The color match technology is pretty darn good and you'll spend less $$.

Just recently did an Anniversary Inner....Picked up a take off inner for about $170 and had it painted for $260

 

I purchased a new take off faring for 75.00 because I screwed up while drilling my faring mirrors anyway decided before I swapped it out I have it painted.. So trying to track down paint codes HD wont sell me the paint or give out code I will have to bring a side cover to paint shop and see if they can make the color.

 

PPG can get the code for you....but you will have to dig for it, as some PPG guys don't even know they have them....persistence.

most of the time they hide the custom colors pretty well..

 

my ppg guy just shoots a part like the side panel with the color match gun.
always worked for me. I haven't talked to him about the rootbeer yet but I will.

 

Just ordered my Glacier Pearl White inner fairing and switch cover from the dealer for $ 423.00. Thought the color match would be better, and as it seems, $170 + $260 = $430 vs. $423, seems like a no brainer.

I can sell my take-off on EBAY, for about $ 170, I guess !!

 

Jeez...$529 plus Tax !. What in the world is HD thinking ?. Can get it alot cheaper elsewhere and do it yourself.

Not so sure about that... MSRP = $529.00 less 20% discount from several HD dealers = $423.96 less $100.00 lowball estimate of what you can sell your stock one on e-bay for = $323.96 not so bad for a factory painted guaranteed match inner fairing !!! The way I look at these 20% off dealers is you don't pay tax either but you do pay freight in most cases which winds up being a wash so your getting about 20% off.
