1006 - Real Teal PearlHarley-Davidson Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color captures the specific optimism of the early 2000s when Harley-Davidson stepped away from traditional black to embrace jewel tones. Because it was only available in 2001, your bike belongs to a small club of owners who chose a look that feels both aquatic and upscale. It has a deep, oceanic quality that looks calm in the shade but wakes up with a vibrant, glowing edge when you pull into the sunlight. Whether it is on a Fat Boy or a Wide Glide, this teal gives the heavy chrome of that era a modern, refreshing contrast.

Technical Details

Since this is a pearl finish, the depth comes from translucent layers packed with mica. Unlike a standard metallic that just glitters, pearl particles reflect light in different directions to create a shifting luster. The risk here is piling the paint on too thick in one spot. If you dab or spray too heavily, those pearl particles will clump together and create a dark, muddy patch that ruins the effect. You want to build the color with several light passes to let the mica settle evenly.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Harley-Davidson Real Teal Pearl (check for code 1006), you need to shake the container for at least a full minute. The heavy pearls in this mix love to settle at the bottom, and if they aren't fully mixed, your repair will look like a flat green instead of a shimmering teal. Harley rarely prints a paint code on the frame, so if you cannot find a sticker on the frame down tubes or under the seat, a dealer can confirm the color via your VIN. Test the color on the included card first to get a feel for the flow. Keep the container moving to avoid pooling, and give each layer a few minutes of drying time before adding the next.
