If it's original, it's Harley paint. Beyond that it's anybody's guess. Not giving us much to go on.

Go down to your local auto parts store and ask for universal touch up paint.

I used Crayons. Make sure you get the big 64 color box with the sharpener built in to the box. With all those colors your sure to get a match. And dont forget to use that sharpener so you can really blend it in with the stock paint.

I'm going out on a limb here . . . . black. But then, all XLCR's were black. It's 40 year old paint on that bike. Take it to an automotive paint store and compare the different the paint with what they have available.

The color is obsolete, they don't make it anymore. You'll have to look around at the swap meets.

'77 bike & guessing it wasn't stored indoors...time for a complete new paint-job...IMO. It's (1) not going to match & (2) touch-up looks like @$$.
