Harley-Davidson Electric Blue (HAR126) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is not your traditional, understated navy. It is a high-voltage, modern classic that has defined the heavy-metal aesthetic since its debut in 2018. Whether it is wrapped around the lean tank of an Iron 883 or the massive fairings of a Road Glide, this color looks like it is vibrating even when the kickstand is down. It captures the transition of the brand into a brighter, more aggressive era of styling. Because your bike has likely seen some miles, you should expect the original finish to have a deep, glass-like glow that makes any chips or scratches stand out like a sore thumb.

Technical Details

This finish is a heavy metallic, which brings a specific set of challenges to your garage. The depth comes from tiny flakes suspended in the pigment that catch and refract the sun. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, those flakes will bunch together and create dark, cloudy patches known as mottling. To avoid a striped or splotchy look, you must ensure the flakes lay down flat and even. It is a rewarding color to fix because the metallic density hides small surface imperfections well, but it demands a steady hand to keep the sparkle consistent across the repair area.

Best Practices

Before you start working with Harley-Davidson Electric Blue (always verify code HAR126 on your registration or by checking your VIN with a dealer), you must shake the container for at least two full minutes. The metallic flakes are heavy and settle at the bottom quickly. Unlike most cars, you won't find a paint sticker on the frame; you usually need your VIN located on the steering head to confirm the match. Test the color on the included card to ensure the flake density looks right before you touch the bike. When applying, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Work in the shade on a surface that is cool to the touch, and allow plenty of drying time between light layers to build the depth properly.
