It's not just your color. HD won't divulge any paint codes. For mine my dealer wanted $120 for a quart of HD paint. That's also the smallest size they will sell.

I took a side cover off the bike and took it to my body man and he matched it to a PPG paint, to do my saddlebags.

Try colorrite.com my friend used them and was very happy. They have all HD factory colors.

PM jharanin and he can provide PPG code for the color. He works for or is affiliated with PPG and has access to the codes and mixing forumlae.

Alternatively, you can go to your local PPG distributor, they will have computer software from PPG with the HD paint name and mixing formula for the color.

Also, some body shops have the software and mixing station to provide the same service. The shop where my bike was recently repainted and the painter showed me how to look up HD color formulae.

Good luck with your problem.
