Try vividdragon.com they did my custom job and it fantastic. Job cost me 2200.00 and that was with him supplying brand new Harley tins.

When i ordered my Heartland kit I took off all my tins and tank and painted them myself. You can buy you a cheap gun, some plastic to build you a paint booth with and good quality paint and self etching primer. It is essential to get the right one when painting bare metal. I talked with a custom paint shop first. I used all dupont products and prolly only have 300 in my paint job. It is Chevy Gloss Black and I have been told by many how good it looks. By the way it was the first time i had ever painted with an air gun and compressor. The key is the sanding and buffing...Good Luck

Check out Colormania in California. Sprayed my bike two tone/pinstriped it and mounted tank badges. Shipped from New York to California and had them back to me in less than 3 weeks. And it is very nice paint. I think it cost me $1400. I believe a single color job through them is about $800.

We appreciate the offer and advice gentlemen.

I'm pretty sure the OP has had his tins painted since he was asking about it SIX years ago.

Nope. Still toying with the idea, though.

The bike, a 2007 FXSTC, is presently the stock color; Suede Blue/Vivid black (this was the factory Custom color offered by HD in 2007).

The spare set of HD stock tins I have are also Suede Blue/Vivid Black.

I really like the stock color and graphic scheme, but I'm always looking for another color that would look equally as striking.

I like lighter colored bikes (blue, yellow, green) as opposed to darker colors (black, brown, etc.). Can anyone suggest anything?

Also, I like flames, but they've seen to be done to death. Can anyone think of any another cool graphics?

Thanks

You get what you pay for.

How much do you want to spend?
