Evo Paint Colours

[Ratchet]

Evening All,
Are there any paint code / colour gurus out there? I'm trying to identify the correct blue for the bike in the picture so I can sort out the scabby paintwork. It started life as a 1996 ElectraGlide. I think it might be a shade called "States Blue Pearl" but if anybody could either confirm or contradict, that would be most helpful.
Ta,
Stu

Get a touch-up bottle from here ..... https://www.paintscratch.com/touch_up_paint/Harley-Davidson/1996-Harley-Davidson-All-Models.html

Then, if you are not doing the job yourself, pass it to a mobile scratch'n'dent expert to do it in your garage, or for bigger corrective work take to your preferred body shop and they will be able to colour match using the touch-up sample.

The paint on a 28 year old bike isn't going to be the same colour it came out of the factory. A good bodyshop should be able to get a much closer match. I had the mudguard repaired on the bike in my profile pic and the match was from some japanese car. Didn't matter how hard you examined it though, you couldn't tell the difference.

Thanks both - I have a mate who is a professional applier of paint - just needed a starting point. From KiwiDave's link I can confirm that the original colour was States Blue Pearl as I suspected -- cheers gents

Harley colours used to be so much nicer, now for 2024 it's:

Billiard Grey (AKA primer)
Vivid Black (now at extra cost)
Sharkskin Blue (AKA primer with a bit of blue)
Red Rock (AKA red oxide primer)
Blue burst (non metalic blue, dull but hey, it's nearly not grey)
White onyx pearl (hurrah! a bit of sparkle, but otherwise it's white primer)
Alpine Green (I think this might be a bit sparkly and not dull, but it's green )
Atlas silver metallic (which is grey primer with sparkly bits)

Apologies for anyone with a 2024 bike, I'm sure it's lovely
