Default New Tins
I'm looking for the best place to find some custom paint sets/tins for my 2012 Ultra Classic.

Where's the best place to look?

Your best bet is to try and piece together a set(forum classifieds, craigslist and ebay) on your own and then have it custom painted to your liking. Probably not to many places have a full set, custom painted, and ready to install for your bike. That set would be a big investment for most painters. Then custom paint it and hope you can sell it.

I wish I could find a set, if I could I'd paint it myself.

One of the sponsors on here is Colormania Custom Paint. I was looking their site over last week and noticed they will supply the tins and paint them. Maybe you can check them out.

I did alot of looking at the custom painters sites and alot of them offer sets and have an exchange so you don't have to tear the bike down send off the parts and wait on them to get back to ride. This gave me the idea to purchase another complete set of tins for mine (found them on Ebay) so that I could paint the new set and install when I have time and if we have a nice day or two durring the process I can still take the bike out for a ride.

I saw colormania's stuff and he wanted around $3500 for just a two tone set. I'm wanting something more than just a two tone paint job for that kinda coin...

Is that just a paintjob or does that include all the parts?

I'm not sure, he didn't say but I would assume that was for just paint and he gets my old tins.
