I am trying to find paint for a set of saddle bags for an 08 Vulcan. The color is dark green and white 2-tone, and they wanted the bags painted the green. However, I called the paint store and they said they cant get motorcycle colors?!?!? After looking online, most places says to order it from colorrite.com. After looking at their website it says I need Code 713 Pearl Bolougne (Dark Green) and it is $200 a quart and not sure if it is a base or single stage. Does anyone know if another brand that can get this color? I do not have access to the bike, so taking it to get matched it not possible. :(
 
Might wanna get your material money up front and charge accordingly.
 
At any rate, you will need a sample of the bike to match it. It's not realistic to expect to buy a can of paint from wherever and have it be a perfect match, so it's very likely some toners will need to be added to produce an acceptable job. The best course of action would be to have the owner take it by a paint jobber with a spectrophotometer (sometimes called a Color Eye) or a good book of color chips, and have them whip something up.
 
You might try PPG jobber, when my neighbor laid down his new one, he brought me pieces and the Kawa-- paint and it was PPG base, no ifs or buts about it.
It was a green tri stage.
