Default Buckshot Exhaust Shield & Matching Mufflers Question

I tried searching, but just too much info and not what I was looking for.

Just purchased a set of the Buckshot heat shields for the wife's Nightster. She would like to have the mufflers color matched. Called Harley to try and determine finish and color number, the information they had was not what I was looking for.

I spoke to Jet-Hot and a couple of others. I was informed Harley had a proprietary color that could not be used except for their stuff. It is still unknown what 'color/finish' the exhaust shields are.

Any ideas how to match the mufflers to the exhaust heat shields. (Ceramic coating only has one to two black colors and finishes for the most part. This is what I was advised by the 'big' powder/ceramic coater businesses).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think that if you go to HD's website the black buckshot mufflers are an option....might want to check it out

I remember seeing them when I was 'customizing' a 2009 nightster

I think you guys are misunderstanding what I need. I need to know what color number the black ceramic coating is. Who applies it and what color number it is. I already own the buckshot covers, I want to ceramic coat the chrome mufflers that are already on her bike to match the black heat shields. Thanks.

Joe,

I saw your ads and website. My problem is can the powdercoat on the mufflers hold up to the heat and not discolor over time? As you know, the ceramic on the heat shields will hold up much better over time and multiple heat cycles. If you can guarantee color match and longevity with powder, I'm all for it, plus your not far from me. Thanks for the reply and let me know.
