Harley-Davidson Ice Blue Metallic (44437) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color is a snapshot of 1977, a year defined by the debut of the iconic Low Rider and the experimental XLCR Cafe Racer. It is a crisp, high-cool blue that captures the AMF-era aesthetic perfectly. Whether it sits on the peanut tank of a Sportster or the massive fenders of an Electra Glide, this shade brings a lighter, almost ethereal energy to the heavy iron of the Shovelhead years. Since your bike has likely seen decades of sun and road, the original finish might have shifted, but this hue remains a standout for collectors of that specific Milwaukee vintage.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes to catch the light. Metallics can be temperamental because those flakes like to clump together or mottle, creating dark streaks if you are not careful. The goal is to keep the flake distribution even so the blue looks consistent from every angle. It is a single-year rarity, making it a distinctive choice for a restoration or a small repair that honors the 1977 lineup.

Best Practices

For 1977 models, you will not find a convenient sticker on the frame with your color information. Most owners confirm the identity through a service manual or by checking the VIN with a specialist. Before you spray or dab Harley-Davidson Ice Blue Metallic (check for code 44437), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is vital to wake up the metallic flakes that settle at the bottom. Always test the color on the included card to ensure it matches the current state of your paint. When applying, keep the container moving in steady, overlapping passes to avoid puddling, and give it plenty of drying time in a cool garage or the shade.
