COLOR CODE195343 - Impact Blue MetallicHarley-Davidson Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your 2004 Harley carries a specific shade of deep blue that defines that production year. Whether it covers the tank of a Road Glide or the fenders of a Softail, this color has a nautical depth that appears subtle in the shade but reveals a bright, electric personality under direct sunlight. Since your bike has been on the road for two decades, the original finish might have darkened slightly or developed fine road-rash, so this repair is essential for keeping that classic silhouette looking sharp.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on microscopic flakes to create that signature glow. These flakes are heavy and tend to settle at the bottom of the container, which can cause mottling. Mottling happens when the metallic particles clump together during application, creating dark, blotchy patches or uneven stripes across the surface. To avoid this, you must ensure the particles stay suspended and lay flat as the paint dries, otherwise the repair will look like a different shade even if the pigment is a perfect match.

Best Practices

Harley-Davidson rarely places a clear paint sticker on the frame; you can usually find the color identity inside your owner's manual or on a small barcode label under the seat or near the steering head. Before you spray or dab Harley-Davidson Impact Blue Metallic (check for code 195343), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to fully mix those metallic flakes. Test the color on the included card to confirm the match before you touch the bike. When applying, keep the container moving to ensure an even flow and allow plenty of drying time between thin layers. If you are working in a garage or the shade, keep the temperature steady to help the metallic particles settle correctly.
