Well, it happened. My wife put my (her) 2012 America in a ditch. Because she was fine I choose to be slightly aggravated. Anyway, she scratched the fender and tank, as well as breaking the right turn signal on the auxiliary light kit I installed and denting the shroud on the right side when the auxiliary light was pushed into it. I called my dealer who is 250 miles away and ordered a replacement signal at 40.00 and a shroud for $60.00. Of course both are backordered! Does anyone know of anywhere these parts may be in stock? Also I checked the paint codes spread sheet on this site but am having trouble understanding it and it goes to 2007 only. Would anyone have a paint code I could give my local paint and body guy to repaint my fender and tank. It's Phantom Black. Thanks in advance.

I bet that will be a tough one to match too since it's sort of like a metal flake black. Check the classifieds for some of those parts. Glad she wasn't hurt, the bike can be fixed.
NW Arkansas, we do a rally there every fall, you should check it out! In the ride/events section.

El Dorado Cycle just South of you. I called and they gave me a number where I can order the paint but only had a paint code of "TR" which didn't make sense. It would be easier to have the code and pay $20.00 for paint vs. buying a quart at close to $100.00.

Take the bike to a reputable spray shop and they will use a spectrometer to make the right colour up for you

Eldorado is who I assumed you meant, they are a good dealer, but you might try Engles in KC as an option in the future if you don't get satisfaction on a question as long as you are calling long distance anyway. Or post here and I'll try to get the right person at Engles to help, been doing business with them since the mid 60s, great owner and crew.

Standox is a DuPont brand. If you have a DuPont paint dealer or body shop close by they can log in to the Standox/Dupont site and get the mix codes. You can go to the site to enter your zip code to see where the dealers are.
