    Tank Emblems 1965 FLH

    So.... I need to get the correct paint for the tank emblems on my 65 FLH.

    I used 1shot.com for the emblems for my 49 EL. They show three different "whites"... Ivory, Polar White and Letterring White. Can someone please tell me which "white" I should be using.

    Cream comes to mind. Not white like milk.

        I am 100% sure that the color I used was called 'Ivory' and was an exact match on my '65 tank badges. They are H-D repop (Screamin Eagle?) however, not OEM from '65.

        Another issue is that I don't remember which company supplied the paint. Like Chris H. says, it is not as white as milk white. More of a very light creamy color... almost beige.
