Default Flame wrap

Wanting to change the look of the hard saddlebags on my 2013 Roadking. Bike was originally two tone Candy Orange and Root Beer. Previous owner changed everything except the bags to the Candy Orange. Talked to a couple of local painters and they want $600-$700 which is not doable for me.
So as a possible alternative I am wondering who has experience with wraps. Thinking something with flames to cover the Root Beer color.
Ideas....

The only thing that the previous owner changed had to be the fuel tank which had the Root Beer color on the bottom.Front and rear fenders were Candy Orange all over.So why not have the fuel tank bottom half painted Root Beer with the correct pin stripes ? That particular color was a expensive option when M/C purchased and bikes value is less without that stock paint.JMHO

Have you checked on the cost of good high quality wraps? From what I've gathered when I was checking on doing a wrap on my boat last year, a good high quality wrap was going to cost upwards of 3g's... I'm just guessing here but I'd imagine you'll be over the 6-700 range to wrap all the tins.
