Vivid Black paint match??

HUH?
There are probably 100's of variations of black. Match is an issue.

hey guys,
thanks for the info. i have sprayed a few small things with "gloss black" can't remember the brand, but it is definitely not the same black.
i will check the dealer. any idea how much is needed to do a fender?

Harley's paint is proprietary. Just ask any body shop that does Harley repairs and they'll tell ya you can't get it anywhere but from the dealer.

I put myself through college as a painter's helper in a body shop and I still have a full complement of tools. I've touched up "vivid" black with any number of brands of black and as long as I got a good match on the texture, ie not too much or too little orange peel, etc., it matches.
Every body man I've ever talked to taught me that black is black.

Harley colors seem to be far more readily available than the import bikes. They seem to use a lot more tri-stage colors.

Not unless there's a metallic or pearl, or unless you get a blush in it from shooting too cold or something.
