COLOR CODE927428 - Medium BlueHarley-Davidson Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color belongs to a very specific moment in the history of the Motor Company. Released only for the 2007 model year, it was the lighter half of the famous Jake and Elwood custom paint sets offered across the entire lineup. Because your bike has likely spent nearly two decades on the road, the finish has faced plenty of sun and heat. This blue is deep enough to feel substantial but bright enough to catch the light during a midday ride. It is a rare sight at most rallies, so keeping it original is well worth the effort.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with tiny flakes that provide that signature shimmer. Metals are notoriously fickle; if they aren't distributed evenly, you will see dark patches or light stripes known as mottling. This happens when the flakes clump together instead of laying flat. To prevent this, you must avoid heavy, wet coats that allow the paint to sag. Thin layers are your friend here because they let the metallic particles lock into place correctly as they dry.

Best Practices

Finding a physical code on your frame is rare, as the factory usually left these off the bike. You can confirm your match by providing your 17-character VIN to a local dealer if the original paperwork is missing. Before you spray or dab Harley-Davidson Medium Blue (check for code 927428), you need to shake the container for at least one full minute to lift those settled metallics off the bottom. Test the color on the included card to ensure the flake density looks right before you move to the bike. Work in a cool garage or the shade, and keep the container moving to ensure the flow remains steady and even. Give each layer enough drying time so the next coat doesn't melt the one beneath it.
