Harley Davidson paint can be purchased individually special order from Harley Davidson themselves or from any good auto paint shop as well as bodywork specialists.

You may think the best paint to get (say if you just want to touch some bits up) is the original paint color from Harley, however this is not necessarily the case. The reason is paint fades and changes color over time, especially if it has not been protected, by weathering mostly UV rays from the sun. So if you live in a hot dry country/state then you’ll need to compensate for this.

However this is not as alarming as it initially sounds as professional paint shops will accommodate for this and be able to calculate your current paint levels from it’s original, how old it is, and exposure it has had. Color charts will be held up to your present paint color and compared to find the best fit. In effect you will be painting on pre-aged paint to match the rest of the motorcycle. This is important for the best finish if you have a new motorcycle or something older. It is a bit more difficult if you have had a custom paint job in a non-standard paint color.
