No that's not high.
That seems about right.
It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks as long as you're OK with the deal.

You have to use due diligence when going in for the lowest price on paint jobs.
As was stated earlier the cheapest route is not always the least expensive. This is definitely an area where you get what you pay for. Also as stated earlier check out the persons work and deal with them directly.

As an "Art Guy" who makes his living with art, the value is about perception. If you get what you want and get a quality job, once it's paid for, you will admire the work and feel good about it. If you think it's worth it, then it is.
Now, on the flip side, if you go with the lowest bidder.....you still might be happy. But then again, you might not be. And then you will have that reminder every time you look at your bike.
Now there are a lot of people in the trade that charge a lot more than they should, and some do it so they don't have to work themselves to death, and the rate kinda weeds out the fence sitters.
No if you don't have that kind of budget, you can duplicate the logo you CAN get, have a sign shop adjust the colors to your liking and do as one of the previous posters said, and get it applied as a decal, then clear over it. After all, just because a piece of art exists doesn't mean it can't be altered!

I already had him do the pinstripe on my wheels, although I've never met him, my Indy uses him. Pinstriping and lettering are two different things though.
