    Another shade of white they use on cop bikes is called "cream puff":roflmao: which I think is kind of a funny name for the white on a cop bike. Like mine is ...mostly black with a lil cream puff on it:roflmao: :devil:

    I can't remember where I saw that color either,if it was in one of my books or flipping thru cop bikes on Ebay, but I remember reading it. If I find it again I'll post the number for it,unless it was someones self description of the color on Flea Bay.

    Good one HRK:roflmao:

    cowboy you know the only paint that'll cover your HD IS Genuine Harley Davidson paint:rolleyes:

    can't you get a color match....where you take a picture of the paint take it in and they scan it and gives the paint guy the paint codes to mix the exact color, my bud did that a couple of times with an older car he was fixing and blending in, the correct paint number would stand out because it wouldn't be faded like the rest of the car was. he got it done at a body shop he used to work for and it blended in perfectly. Just a thought....:devil:

    sometimes that works, other times is wont. different cameras have different resolutions of colors. the best way is to take the vehicle to them. repainting is the absolute way that it all matches!!!!!! lol lol
