yes sir!!! we do this all the time! now the primer would have to be stripped, as it is a paint and can not go in the oven... i will actaully start a thread about the fender we are doing now to give you an idea of the process
if i can find a pic of the chopper tank we just did in flat black i willpost that up, but here are a few samples

flat black


oil tank


satin black




flat black wheel


and just for grins here is a new color combo we came up wiht, it is a flat anidized blue


we used a ton of the red (also have orange and purple) on this build we did ... all the red is flat anidized red and all the black is flat black

That is some sweet work. What would a whole set of tins run for a 93 FLSTF? Where are you located at? PM me with the info if you can?

Thanks for the pics
