Over cast day plus I put 8 coats of pearl instead of 4 the effect in the sun is intense! Hard to get pictures of though.

thanks here too, I'll keep that for reference. My dealers local painter has matched it by test and I've saw the inner fairing and I can not tell it is not factory.

I was thinking of a smaller clean fender on the front.

thanks for codes,Larry

Funny how they guard some ingredients, I had a street glide rear fender skirt painted to match my 07 redfire pearl. Came out near perfect match except HD had a green flake in the oem paint but was not in the paint from the local indy shop. Maybe some day Ill find it than I will install the hugger fender too.

Yes that color is a two stage so just color and clear coat.

Tequila sunrise 2012 paint code

Hey BIGVTWIN,
Can you tell me the paint code below. Is this code for the metal flake orange or the solid orange for the tequila sunrise? I am wanting to paint my inner fairing but I want to use the solid color orange on it.
Thanks
