depending on the year and color of your bike a local body shop can do it for alot less fbi is way over priced if u ask me. the reason i say the year cuz harley keeps there colors top secret for at least a year from my experience iam a painter and some colors are almost impossible to get unless u buy direct from harley and there colors match for **** and they are usally single stage. my bike was sedona orange i changed the color to firemist orange si i dont have to deal with harley colors. sorry for the book hope this helps.

you should be able to get that color from any autobody supply the problem lies in the newest years 11 -12 models.i paint all inners for $200.00 customer buys paint but i will tell ya right now reds are the most expensive paints. go find a bodyshop take your fairing apart i bet you can get it done for no more then $200 if its more then that find another shop. good luck to ya. thank u .

I have been quoted between $150 and $200 out the door to paint mine. That is for vivid black, which I was told would be cheaper.

with black they can do it cheaper cuz all shops have that color in stock any other they have to mix at least a pint. so yes black will always be the cheapest and easiest to do.
