My fiance wants to paint his motorcycle with reflective white and red paint. I can't find anywhere online where I can buy it, it's all custom for the certain bikes. Any ideas? Thanks!

Check Sherwin-Williams. Look in industrial coatings.
Krylon also had a spray-over clear coating with glass spheres. Found in the MSC industrial catalog, but not on thier website.

The secret is to act quickly whilst the paint is still wet. Remove the excess using a knife or wallpaper scraper, taking care not to scratch the surface, and work from the outside in to avoid spreading it further. Once the bulk is removed, mop up the rest with a cloth or paper towel, again working from the outside. Finally, clean the area with Leather Shampoo. It is tricky once the paint is dry. If it won’t come off with LTT Maxi Cleaner, then I’m afraid there’s nothing you can safely use without damaging the leather. Don’t be tempted to use brush cleaner, white spirit, turps or nail varnish remover as these are likely to damage the leather finish and make final repairs difficult or impossible. Instead, leave it to the professionals who should be able to reduce the paint stain and colour over any residues. It may also be a good idea to contact your insurance company. Hope this helps

The only type of reflective paint that I can think of, would be "metal flake" paint.
This site sells it in white -

You can always paint the bike white. While the paint is still wet, spray on metal flakes. When every thing is dry, spray on a clear coat.

Best place to look is Automotive stores or Regular paint stores may help you. But your best bet would be going to or e-mailing a customizing shop in your local area. If you found it on-line it maybe hard to ship it! Remember paint is considered a hazards material. I'm almost positive any local bike or car body shop that does custom work will have it or get it for you!

if the bike is OK now and he paints it himself, he will be reducing its resale value by quite a lot. Even a professionally-painted bike can be hard to sell when he wants a change of ride. Get him to leave the bike alone and take you away for a weekend instead.
