Default Paint Color Help

The paint color on my bike is Red Hot Sunglo and I'm thinking about buying a Tour Pac that I've found online. The color of the tour pak is Luxury Rich Red Metallic. From what I can see online looks almost identical to the Red Hot Sunglo. Anybody know how close these colors are to each other? Is the Luxury Rich Red Metallic so similar to the Red Hot Sunglo that most people wouldn't notice?

Any help would be appreciated - thanks!

Red is the hardest color to match up and Harley Davidson has some very unique colors. Good luck with getting a match unless you shell out the bucks and get HD. Another option is either to go black or get a leather one.

Reds are no more difficult to match than any other color...any painter worth his salt can get a factory match with the right codes

Red Hot Sunglo is PPG # 922609
Luxury Rich Red Metallic #75946


Red Hot Sunglo has orange toner and a special effect toner in it where the Luxury Red doesn't. May look close, but trust me it's not.

jharanin is right. I used the tinted clearcoat that's used with the HD Red Hot Sunglo and it definitely is different from the other red you are considering--it's what gives your Red Hot Sunglo bike something like a glow in sunlight.
