2019 Harley-Davidson Touch Up Paint (12 OEM Colors)

The 2019 Harley-Davidson Vibe

By 2019, Harley-Davidson was fully leaning into the "Custom Revolution," trying to prove that a factory bike could look like it rolled out of a high-end boutique shop. This was the year of the bold and the beautiful-where the flat, non-metallic Billiard Blue became an instant icon on the Softails, while the CVO crowd was treated to deep, psychedelic multi-stage finishes like Wineberry and Copper Pearl Tricoat. With a solid 12 colors in our database for this year, it's a mix of old-school grit and new-school flash. Whether you were riding a stripped-down Street Bob or a fully loaded Ultra Limited, the 2019 palette was designed to stand out against a sea of boring silver sedans.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to The Thin Paint Era. By 2019, the factory robots had become masters of "Efficiency," which is painter-speak for "we used as little product as humanly possible." While the clear coat technology is technically advanced and offers great UV protection, it's applied thin enough to make a shadow look thick. You'll likely notice that the leading edges of your fairing or the front of your tank are magnets for rock chips. Because the paint is so thin and the clear is quite hard, it tends to chip rather than flex. If you've got a Wicked Red Denim finish, you're also dealing with the "no-buff" rule-one wrong move with a polishing compound and you've turned your matte masterpiece into a shiny mistake.

Restoration Tip

When dealing with these 2019 finishes-especially the Tricoats like Red Hot Sunglow-you have to respect the "Robot Efficiency" by being precise. Build your layers slowly; don't blob it. If you try to fill a chip in one heavy pass, the metallic flakes will sink to the bottom and the color will look three shades too dark. Apply your base color in paper-thin layers, let it dry, and then "drop" your pearl or clear coat over the top. For the Denim finishes, less is always more. You aren't just matching a color; you're matching a texture, so keep your repair footprint as small as possible to keep that factory-fresh look.
