I'm thinking if you called Destination or NW HD they could point you in the right direction.

His timeline is great, about a week turn around. The Paint is not a perfect match. The Bags, Side Covers and Front Fender were close enough for me though. It came out a liitle "foggy" looking in comparison to the very dark OEM denim paint. I believe it's the matte clear. I would rather have the Matte clear on them than not, though...will hold up better in the long run.

He still has my rear fender...sprayed it with a different brand of clear and came out too shiny. Should be done today. Once I get everything bolted onto the bike and get her into the sunlight, I can let you know what I really think.

I can say, I would not recommend RedCup Customs for Denim Black Paint.

He is a super nice guy and the turn around and communication is great. They just have not cracked the nut on the paint.

I paid him for his work but it came out more grey than black. I have it mounted on the bike but I will have to pull it once again and get it painted somewhere else when I find someone.
