Your Paint Color Profile

PPG 9850 - Vivid Black

The Look

This is the benchmark that every other motorcycle paint is measured against. Whether you are touching up a 2013 Road Glide or a Sportster, this finish is the soul of the machine. It is a deep black that looks like liquid glass when it is clean. Since your bike has spent time on the road, it has likely picked up a few chips that break that reflection. Restoring this depth is the best way to get that factory presence back.

Technical Details

You are working with a pure solid finish. There are no metallic flakes or pearls here to mask your work, which makes the match straightforward but the application demanding. Solid blacks are unforgiving because they act like a mirror. Any unevenness in the surface will show up once the light hits it. The trade-off is that you do not have to worry about metallic particles settling the wrong way or looking striped. It is just deep, honest pigment that relies on a smooth surface for its shine.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint information on a sticker located on the steering neck of the frame or the down tube near the front forks. Before you spray or dab Harley-Davidson Vivid Black (check for code PPG 9850), you must shake the container for at least sixty seconds. Test the color on the included card to make sure the shade matches the rest of the bike. Always work in a garage or the shade to keep the sun from speeding up your drying time. Keep the container moving as you apply the paint to prevent runs, and use several thin layers to build up the depth.

How to Find Your Harley-Davidson's Color Code

A color code is unlikely to appear on a Harley Davidson; often only the color name is listed. The code can be determined by Harley-Davidson. If there is no color code, the relevant reference is the PPG or Dupont (Axalta) paint formula number. Finding a code on the bike is uncommon, so identification typically relies on Harley-Davidson or, failing a code, the PPG or Dupont (Axalta) formula.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
