1945 Essential Use Paint Match

[timothy]

Can someone help me with the paint code for the Police gray for my 1945 Chief? Thank you.

I have the same bike, in navy blue. I have been looking for the name and address for a guy out east, as I recall Vermont who mixed up my paint. He had developed modern paints in the original colors. Very happy. I will keep looking for his contact #. He advertised he has accurate color matches for Harley, Henderson, and most Indian. Amazing the lack of information out there for this.

It seems to me that John may not supply paint for Indians anymore. He may however have the code!

I had seen that also, but I contacted him anyway, and he mixed up some paint. This was just over a year ago. Had it mixed in a DuPont single stage. In comment, I was painting a lot of dulux in the 70's, and had some recollection of what it looked like, so was concerned about a somewhat authentic finish since dulux was no longer available. I don't know if John addresses that gloss issue when he mixes the paint, but the gloss and finish seems appropriate imo
