Default paint cost

I am thinking about getting a new paint job on my lowrider. Probably going with two tone color scheme. Ballpark, what should I expect to pay?

Check out this site: http://www.customflamepainting.com/ They have a lot of different paint schemes and will even paint a set of tins and send them to you with the option ofyou sending them your tins for a credit. Practically no down time. I'm leaning toward them for my paint project later this year.

I have had two custom paint jobs on bikes and I have to say you get what you pay for in the long run. I paid $1200 for a simple two tone job plus paint and $1500 for a detailed flame job plus paint using candy colors. My advice check out some local bikes that have been sprayed in your area then go see the painter you like to check out his work in person. But don't go cheap on the paint either you will regret it.

moondog99 is about as close as you can get for a guesstimate. Make sure that your painter takes off all of the old paint, don't settle for a paintover of what you already have. Any quality painter will sandblast the old paint off and prep it before any new paint is shot. New paint is the best modification you can do in my opinion.
