Pewter Denim painted inner fairing
Has anyone painted their Inner Fairing Pewter Silver Denim? Or any Denim color for that matter. I was wondering how it turned out and what the paint code/part no. for the paint and flat clear coat are respectively. One of the painters I talked to said that it is very hard to get a perfect match and that I would be able to notice it by eye. Not to reassuring. Thinking about just ordering a painted one straight from HD. Any help would be great, thanks.

You can get the paint here. I painted my bike using paint from here and was very happy with the results. Perfect match. http://www.colorrite.com/

I had a problem with their paint. I was painting a fairing and bags and the paint will never match but they told me that , they are different lots? But I had a problem with the fairing having a spot that would not dry? The paint would slide off the fairing spot and no matter what I did in prepping the spot it would not stick? I called them and left messges and E mails and they would never respond ? Thats always good to have a problem and not have a manufacture help you with it? That was sucky

Wondering what the HD part no.# for Pewter Denim paint and the Matte clear is? I want it to be an exact match so I feel that I need to go with the HD paint. The bummer is, I heard it comes in quart size qty only. I think/know that I will have some left over. What is the shelf life if stored properly?

The part numbers for the Pewter Denim Paint and Matte Clear are: 98609CHH and 98609CLR respectively. This is for the quart cans. Hoping to get this project done around the first of the year. Look for before and after pic's.

If you want the PPG equivalents for the HD color, PM jharanin; he works for PPG and can provide the PPG numbers you need, and a PPG jobber or auto body shop with PPG paint mixing capability can provide the paint in the quantity you need. A PPG jobber/distributor can provide the same PPG paint codes using PPG software.

Double-check the "CLR" for the denim clear. I have the HD paint book showing part nos. for paint (aerosol, touch-up, and quarts) and it shows the quart for denim clear is 98609CRL. You will also need Urethane Activator, p/n 99825-02, to mix with the HD paint prior to spraying. I'm not a painter; but, I have the HD paint book information which is what I've related here. I became familiar with the HD paint and PPG equivalents when prepping to repaint my about a year and a half ago.

Here is the finished product. I think it turned out nice. Can't wait to see it on the bike, but I will have to wait. I am trying to decide on what handlebars to go with. Any ideas? I am looking for a bar that is real close to stock but chrome and pre-drilled for internal wiring. Any help with this would be great.
