here is the color match for the black pearl... we have used is several times comes out great
good looking powder... HDtuner i did a ton of stuff on my bob in the black cherry before... PBTP black cherry has much more purple to it than HD's just to give you a heads up we knock it down by using a reg clear not a glass... gets the color match almost spot on!

Joe, whats your turn around time right now ( March)? Do you guys have any Harley color charts you can use to match? I don't have any Brilliant Silver Pearl painted parts that I can ship from Vermont to CA just for a color match?

I'm Pm'ing you on the floor boards I asked about. Thanks, Rick

Thanks for the heads up Joe, I was looking at P365 HD blackcherry, i've been getting my stuff from them lately. Less headache than PBTP. I just placed an order from NIC as well. I doubt I will do anything in BlackCherry on my bike, I thought about doing the inner fairing, still might. But more than likely i'll do it in the graphite color.

Ok I know there are quite a few of you out there that can color chop this for me and turn that chrome engine guard to silver so I have an idea on what it may look like...PLEASE!

Although these pictures are horrible as you cannot see the serious sparkling metalic in the paint, it would still give me a rough idea!

Those look really good. Makes me wish I hadn't already done mine up in mirror black!

Ok Guys, I'm taking the plunge. I'll post some pics when done. I always send my Powder to Joe Pro here on the forum for his excellent quality work but in this case the engine guard shipping quotes I'm getting are over 100.00. one way. Oversize Item. So I'm heading down to Worcester MA to Kustom Flames to pick up my fairing Friday so I thought I'd take the long way and detour down through southern VT. 1 1/2 from my house and try these guys out!

If you look at the Black and silver Porche wheels they coated which are on their web page, that silver on those wheels is a perfect match to my Brilliant Silver Pearl bike. Strip, powder coat and clear I was quoted 75.00. I'm going for it!
