Anyone know where I can get some mirage orange pearl paint? it's the stuff they use on the XL883R's and I have a hankering to repaint my bike this colour. I went along to Nelson's only auto paint shop and they didn't have it listed on their Harley paint list even though this colour has been around in oine form ao another sinde the year dot. I need about a liter I reckon, and want to clear coat over it and the decals. Oh yeah, I'm also after a couple of tank decals like the one below but I need my arms and legs!

Thanks, the local guys said that too - but I don't have a sample of it! I might know a guy with one the right colour so if I can sneak his front guard off...

Ok one of the Harley dealers tells me it's called racing orange,..harley code is "98603nz" I can get the genuine thing for $105 with a 6-8 week wait from the states, does anyone know how to mix it?

I have changed my mind and painted it met red and dark silver. I bought the met red off turdeme a year or two back and never used it, and the dark silver came with a lot I bought off ebay. The decals were custom made by a guy I know look spot on.

Looks better in that colour anyway.
Good job.

Now that is nice indeed. At least as good-lookin' as the original.
