Joe;

I'm thinking of repainting my 2009, Pearl Black Superglide in a two-tone scheme of
Merlot / Sunglo or Cherry / Sunglo with the pattern being very similar to the factory
two-tones or this example...

http://www.attitudecustompainting.co.../samples/0762/

How closely could you color match the Harley factory paints on a scheme like this?
I'm also going to be fitting a Memphis Shades Batwing so color match is very important.

(I'm not looking for a specific quote as such, more trying to get an idea of capability).

Thanks..

we can do it! if they do not make it we can have one formulated (but that runs about 100 to have a color formulated) we can do it though no worries. The batwing is not something we can coat though the abs plastic will not take the heat (i have tried)

Thanks, Joe.

I knew the Batwing couldn't be powder coated which is why I'm so concerned about
color matching since that would have to be painted separately.

Joe, just out of curiosity, what would be a ballpark cost on a powder coat job like Mike Horrell showed above? Could I bring my bike to you, I would have no clue on how to take off the tins.

yep we could remove all the tins coat and replace... a duel color (candy) powder job plus clear, and wetsand and buff would be somewhere around $700+ depending on just what colors and how trick of a two tone needed to be done.
Solid colors we could knock out all the tins for around 575-650
