Default Paint question...

Is there any reputable places online that will paint a tank that does quality work?

Im thinking about buying a nightster primered tank for a 48 and having it painted in the hard candy coloma gold flake paint.

I dont know of any local shops that would want to mess with that type of paint and dont want to waste time and money with them on a paint job that may not turn out factory quality.

Thanks in advance

If you want a factory tank, a factory color and factory quality you should just order it from HD. I've heard other people talk about ordering for around $800 from HD.

I got a new factory tank after being hit by a kook. The new one had some "paint flaws" and I asked for a new one after a couple months, cause it bugged me. To my surprise, I got another tank, this one perfect. That's a good reason to maybe order one from the dealer. $800 seems cheap for peace of mind.

The problem is I want a 3.3 gallon tank in the gold flake color and Harley didnt offer this.

I just got a strait, dent, and rust free Nightster tank off ebay for 300 bucks.

Now I'm looking to have a show quality paint job.

These guys look like they do a good job:

Don't know what it will cost, but I'd like to not go over $800 total.
