Default Custom Paint Question

I have a 2010 SG Sunglo Red and am now thinking of adding some paint. I'm leaning toward the tribal look......but need some advice. I was wondering to avoid down time, and if I can swing the $$$ of course, if I should just buy primered replacement parts.... Tank .... bat wing.....and all from HD and send them to a painter? Also, i'm in Kentucky....anyone know a awesome painter here or close by? I called a high dollar advirtised place....wanted like 5K to do it.....wow. I know you get what you pay for, but there has to be some local talent that is just as good. Also, if anyone has a sunglo red SG with custom paint I would love to see some pics....Thanks
