I must agree Bryan from BD's is not only a master painter, but an amazing stand up kinda guy ta boot-

Go to your HD dealer and ask who they send their prize bikes to paint....

I'd contact Joe at Xtreme Diminsions. He comes highly recommended for CVO paint. He's up your way in Jersey.

On all the work he's done, he's been on time as per his estimate, and always charged what he estimated, no "hidden costs" or "unforeseen problems."

I don't know how busy he is right now, or if he does mail order work, but I'm dropping a couple of fenders off with him in the next few days, and can ask him about it if you like.

Danny painted my touring bike. The artwork was fantastic! Sadly the actual paint work has not held up over time in my opinion for just three years. Lots of chips in the fairing, fender, and side covers. I have compared to other bikes with the stock factory paint with similar milage. My paint looks way worse. For the money I spent it should have held up better. And no, I dont travel any gravel roads !!! The only way to "repair" is to completely repaint. And by the way, the local HD dealer no longer uses Danny for painting. As an artist Danny is top shelf, not so sure about the paint he uses which is NOT from Harley Davidson.

Hmmm, that's interesting. My paint has held up well, but who know what happened with yours? In any case, I think the OP is best served by dealing with someone in person if he can, and it looks like he found some options up where he lives.
