Painter.
Morning all.
Looking for a good painter in the Eastern Mass area to paint the new stretched bags I just received.
The bike is an 08 CVO Roadking. Finally bit the bullet and went with new bags. The paint is a dark cobalt blue with a lighter candy apple blue on the fenders and tank with ghost flames within the lighter color.
Thinking that I want to have the bags done in the dark cobalt color, and have the lighter color on the back of the bags tapered down to a point to match the rear fender. Kinda hard to explain as this thread is useless without pictures. I know that somebody has this paint scheme as it is one of the 3 CVO colors offered on the 08 Roadking.
The bags totally change the whole look of the bike and I am chomping at the bit to get them done right.
Any suggestions or recommendations are much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Painters are a word of mouth business. Network with custom bike and custom car forums/social media. Ask your independent Harley shops for referrals.
I found my painter through an auto repair shop who had the right connections. My painter worked in an auto body shop on Saturday when the shop was closed. He used his employers equipment to paint my BMW..$400 cash under the table. Look up some of the small "hole in the wall" auto body shops, that's where you find these guys. Do not go to the big chain or insurance repair shops.
Lot's of painters are hungry.

nobody does it better, one paint job he did for Stewy's Custom Cycles took first place at World Of Wheels 2 years ago, he does "regular" work in addition to his airbrush talents
I will personally attest to his work... and I used to be a painter.. his work is second to none
Closer to you Perewitz is an option though
