True statement, I meant to mention that. Thanks for picking up after me.

 

+1 on that ,Ive used Dupont for years with great results! the also have a flatner to give any paint a dull finnish.

 

I don't know why you guys don't buy the paint from HD? It's not that expensive and you get a perfect match.

 

Harley tells me they do not sell Denim black paint.

 

Go in and order P/N 98606BYM (black denim rattlecan) and 98606CLR (flat clear rattle can) and see what your dealer says then. Or 98609BYM and 98609CLR which is the same thing in quarts, you will need the accellerator for the clear out of the quart tho.

 

at the risk of a highjack... I was told that laquer paint was good to use. True?

 

my opinion as a painter is to use the base with clear and activator all together. ive done it alot.

 

thats not a good idea man, when u use a clear, its should have a hardener, a spray can doesn't.

 

Some people say that denim paint is difficult to touch up if it's scratched, and that it scratches easily. Now I don't know if that's true or not, but if it were me and that's the look I was going for, I'd take the tins to Line-X and have them spray them. Would get the desired look, in any color you want, and be tough as hell.

 

True, but somebody had mentioned the rattlecan, so I thought I'd throw that part number out there. I know people who have used the spray clear for T-ups and it works well for them. I wouldn't ever spray clear without accellerator/hardener but I also have the proper equipment to shoot the stuff. For somebody that doesn't have a good gun and place to shoot paint and wants to do it themself using a can it's a good option. A denim paint job with rattlecan clear will be more durable than just the black denim paint by itself.
