Default Harley Paint

Hey..just wondering why everyone is always saying it is so hard to get harley paint. I have a 2008 white gold pearl street glide that I am doing a ton of work to. I have the paint code numbers which I got from a parts tech at the dealership, I simply went to one of the online harley dealers that discounts. punched in the numbers and viola..I have a quart of base coat and a quart of top coat on its way. Am I missing something?

You're missing the HD urethane activator that is required with those paints. P/N 99825-02, 8 oz. for each color/qt.

Good luck with your project.

Also missing a quart of the clear. No one said it is hard to get HD paints. It's just that it's only available in quarts and it's damn expensive.

For smaller quantities to paint an inner fairing, Hog Tunes tweeter pod, etc., PM jharanin. He works for PPG and has access to PPG paint codes and formulas for many, many HD paints. He is very helpful.
