Default Can anybody recommend a good painter...

I'm looking to paint my bike. It's currently Cobalt Blue and I'm looking to either paint it charcol grey or black. I live in Ventura County, so a painter here would be great. But, if you know of a painter in LA or Santa Barbara counties, that would be cool too.

Also, how much do you think it would cost to paint the tank and two fenders???

This guy lives here, check out his work. He's as good as anyone I've ever seen. He does this stuff freehand. You're probably looking at $600 - $800 for a 1 color I would think, unless you run it down to mexico. By the way, I like cobalt blue.

Check out http://www.attitudecustompainting.com/ I just got my bike done by him. The work is unbelievably good and he is reasonably priced for basic jobs and flame jobs. It can get pricey for the majorly detailed stuff but when you look at his work, you will see why. If nothing else, you will like just searching through his site.
