Anybody have any insight as to when HD plans to release the paint or paint composition for their new 2012 paints? I have a an inner fairing that needs hit with Big Blue Pearl!

Go to a auto body painters supply store, were pro body shops get there stuff from. They can mix any factory color paint for you. Way cheaper than getting from HD. I almost sure PPG makes it for HD and they put their own label on it. Some higher end body shops can mix it up too if they have the PPG mixing system. All you need is the year and the name of the color, a code can help. But most better suppliers will only need the yr. to track down the color.
A have a pro shoot that fairing for you. He know were to get the right stuff. This is not a DIY job if you haven't got the experience. It take more know how than using a rattle can.

I use to custom paint cars and trucks.

Yep, still waiting. All the painters I've been in touch with are still waiting on BBP to be released. Some expect it out in mid January.

Does anyone know if PPG has released the formula for Big Blue Pearl 930849? All my research tells me no, but wanted to check with y'all.

How much paint goes on a typical bike? Obviously there's some variation in size, but is there a quantity you'd say is typical? Or even if you had a feel for how much for a Sportster model, Touring, etc?
