Harley-Davidson Dyna Silver Metallic (35934) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your 1994 or 1995 Harley hails from an era where silver was the choice for riders who wanted their chrome to do the talking. It carries a heavy, industrial feel that suits the lines of the Dyna and Sportster models. Because your bike has survived three decades of sun and road grit, the existing finish has likely shifted from its factory tone. This silver is practical and hides light dust, but it demands a clean surface to pop against the black of your engine.

Technical Details

Before you spray or dab Harley-Davidson Dyna Silver Metallic (check for code 35934), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is a metallic finish, which means tiny flakes are suspended in the liquid. If you let the container sit, those flakes sink to the bottom. Applying it without a deep mix results in a flat, muddy gray rather than a crisp metallic. Keep the container moving to prevent the flakes from pooling in one spot, which creates dark, mottled patches that look like bruises on the tank.

Best Practices

Finding a physical sticker on a mid-90s bike is a challenge. You will typically find the color information in your owner's manual or by running your VIN through a local dealer, though some bikes have a small label on the frame down tube near the neck. Before you apply it to your bike, test the color on the included card. Check the match in the sun rather than the dim light of your garage. Apply light layers and give each one plenty of drying time. If you rush and pile the paint on too thick, the metallic flakes will swim and ruin the uniform look you want.
