Yeah, That is the problem! Vermont doesn't seem to have any Jobbers that can come up with a perfect match code. Closest is a denim. I have glossy Brilliant Silver Pearl? Thanks for the responses.

I think the "pearl" part of it is applied after the color coat and before the clear coat....
We have a Honda van the is silver pearl and that is how they had to do it......
But I know nothing about how Harley paints their bikes.

That's the part that scared me and made me go with the dealers painter. They at least have all of the paint codes for the bike and the paint in stock. May cost a bit more but a safe piece of mind.

I'm told that there is pearl flake in this mixture and the top coat is the standard.
