Default Custom paint - Canada

I'm considering some paint for one of our HD's; it seems the HD paint set program is pretty much gone. As I'm in Canada, I'd prefer to find a painter on this side of the border who can lay down a good flake job; like the tequila sunrise paint of a few years ago and maybe some pinstriping...not interested in ANY airbrushing at all. Any Canadian's have experience with painters here for a quality big metalflake and pinstripe job???

What part of Alberta are you in? Just got my tins back from Cougar auto body in E-town and he showed me a SIK metal flake job he just layed down, look like something off a 70's speed boat. He has a booth for dooing just bike tins, he does ALOT of them. Try him out, his name is graham, he's a cool big 'ol biker

Talk to Kevin at Red line custom AUTOBODY in St. Albert.

His specialty is restoring hot rods & muscle cars. He's a perfectionist. Did fender mods & paint on both my bikes.

Check out his Facebook photos.

FYI, Cougar did an awesome airbrushing job on a friends bike.

Chaotic Kustoms in Grande Prairie or Baker Boyz in Edmonton. Either does some of the best work I've seen, in Northern Alberta.
