Default How Much Is a Good Paint Job?
I'm not looking for artwork here, just a good paint job with some black paint and silhouette flames. Any ideas on what that 'should' run from the guys here who have had similar custom paint? It would be the 2 fenders and tank, nothing on the frame.

Thanks!

Price will range from region to region. Contact some local painters and get an estimate. Only way to know for sure.

A buddy of mine just paid $800 for tank, 2 fenders, side cover, & upper belt guard. Base - clear flat gun metal. So they didn't have to do much polishing. Seemed like a good price.

There are some shops around here that will do it for $450 or $550. Paint looks good but not a lot of customization.

Gotta be 1.5k, right? Otherwise, I'm expecting free touch-ups for life on that paint job.
