This is probably a stupid question, but can you still get the stock powder for the frames?

Talk to Al at American Sport Bike. He sells the factory match paint. He told me last time I was there that he had a customer who had his paint matched to some powdercoat locally. The strange thing was that there was NO metallic in the powdercoat once they found a match.

Sorry to ramble. Call American Sport Bike and Al can help you out. He's good people.

What color powder are you looking for and how much do you need?

I want to do my clutch and brake handles the factory '08 dark blue metallic to match my frame and swing arm. So not a lot.

Thanks for the tip about Al. I didn't think about calling him for something like that.

I think the frames are some kind of wrinkle coat aren't they? Seems that way to me.

Its a Protech powder. I don't know if they can sell to anyone other than HD. Otherwise if you find a shop that sprays Protech powders they may be able to get some.

Yes you can, I did and I posted quite a few years ago. I have all the Buell color chips and color codes from the powder coat manufacture, I can't remember the company name at the moment. I had to do a LOT of research at the time to find all the info but I've got it somewhere around here.

Would you still happen to have those chips and codes? I can dig if you don't. I want to buy a couple pounds of the powder and keep them around.

The blue you are referring to is:
PK612B5 Barracuda Blue
PK612N1 (09-10 frame / wheels black)

The manufacture is Protech Chemicals Ltd

If I'm not mistaken there's a minimum purchase of 50 lbs which would go a LONG way. I would recommend a group buy and have the manufacturer package in 2 lb packages and distribute to those wishing to purchase.
