Default How much averae to paint bike factory color?

I ahve a denim street bob and was wondering how much would it cost to get the tanks and fenders the stock color? I put a two up seat and it scratched the hell out of my fender. Im not really worried about it because im sure down the line theres gonna be more scratches and nicks. Im sure ill have to get the whole thing painted down the road. Could a paint shop do a good job where it looked like it came from the factory?
How much would it cost an average?

Bobby- I paid $150.00 to have my tank painted by the guy who does all the paint work for the local Harley shop. He painted my rear fender also but it had some fab work done to it. Hope this helps.

denim = some sandpaper and a can of denim paint... ridiculously easy to do all by yourself... prep till smooth then clean and spray.

get a can of the flat(denim) paint and try it out on something you have lying around the house... you'll see

bob any denim paint will look like factory, that is the beauty of denim... easy to match and blend... before that became the new paint craze i used to shoot bikes in mat black cause it was the cheapest paint you could get, did not have to worry about polishing it out, and was easy to fix any scratches... it is easy to fix what you have going on...
