i have painted one or two
. repairing the factory paint and matching is a real pia. you cant use harley's paint. its garbage and you never know what your going to get. it could be a base clear or it could be single stage and they dont even tell you what it is on the can. i would always refuse to use harley paint even if the customer brought it to me. every time i repaired i would formulate the color here from scratch. i would charge a flat fee to formulate each color. most of the colors are 2 stage so for those i charge to formulate for each stage. in the end its best the just go buy a brand new part from harley. for custom stuff its a different story. then i just use whatever colors i want.
