Sheet Metal Exchange Program
I plan on buying a Fat Bob soon. I would like to do the sheet metal exchange program for the California Kid Paint Set - Black with Green to Blue Fade Flames. Has anyone done this before? What was your experience (good or Bad)? Thanks.

I didn't do the sheet metal exchange but I did have my tins painted by a local painter.
I got what I wanted with a 10 day turnaround for less than the Harley paint set.

RE: Sheet Metal Exchange Program
I'm doing my paint myself... I'm on my 3rd try, actually... so this is probably not for the weak of heart. I found on ebay a second set of tins and started painting them last summer... I'm not really all that happy with the resulting paint job, so I'm doing it again. lol. If I had the money, I'd send them out for custom paint, truth be told. I love the california kid theme tho, it'll look SHARP on your bob!

I pulled the tins and removed the emblems.
He stripped all the paint and started from scratch, modified his templates to fit around the emblems and put them back on.
He matched the factory anniversary colors. I was pretty satisfied with his price for the quality of work he did.
