I have been in the market also for paint. I started on this forum and you will get a lot of links to look at. I am leaning towards a real flames paint job. My recommendation would be to approach painters as an interview and not a price quote. I have talked to at least six painters and most of them didn't have the same vision I did. Make sure you have someone excited to do your work. Good Luck.
I guess I am cheep. Hammerite Green with Hammerite blue flames. I got it that way. I am redoing the paint and It is going to Hammerite Purple. Someday I will have my son do the art as he is an awsome artist and he is 26 today.
I am in the process of learning so I can paint my own bike. I also know many of the top bike painters in the country. (not personally, but through other forums) I have been practicing my skills, and it is a lot of fun. Plain paint jobs are easy, but adding graphics is where the price goes up. I could refer several people, most of which have their own websites.

before the clearcoat how many steps (is it like one black then followed with Orange then yellow) or do you repeat the different color(s)over and over That paint job is Real Nice
