Default Color Mania?

Looks like they are a board sponser but they dont even respond...

I submitted the online quote form which states a response within 2 hours.. I called 3 times and left messages, and I have yet to hear back..

Guess my money isn't green enough.

Any moderators want to kick the sponser in the a$$ for me? Service like this they should be dropped quick!

I do custom bike painting. Send me a message with what you're looking for and I'll give you a quote. Just finishing these up now for a customer in Wyoming.

Avoid Colormainia like the Plague. Their work is OK but they aren't worth the hassle. Do a search their name on this site for more info. They have a communication problem with customers.
Also, if you check, they have been banned but no one seems to know why.

I've had the same experience with them--multiple messages both online and by phone: No response.

All I'm trying to find is some paint! Don't need them to paint anything, just need the paint, and they're about the only ones that even list the Peace Officer Light Blue on their site! It's been discontinued by HD & the local dealer even put out a stock search for it with no results.

I am planning on doing a custom paint on my inner fairing to match the outer and was going to try it on my own with a buddy's help, but can't find the paint. The painters around here that I've talked to don't want to mix paint unless they are the ones doing the painting, so I may have to change my plans.

yeah sucks... the painters around here want too much $$$... either that or everyone on here lies about the cost to have their stuff painted because the painters here want double what I see everyone says they paid...

Colormania painted my FXDX, it was a hassle dealing with them. My paint is super soft and scratches super easy. I didn't know Abi was so close to me back when I did it, he will be painting my bikes from now on and will likely be repainting the DX.

Thumbs down To evil451- Re-Colormania

I sent my tank and fenders to Colormania in Jan. to be painted. Simple paint job, factory colors with a little simple horse on tank. They haven't sent my bike back yet!! No one ever calls you back, you can't get a live person and rarely do they respond to our emails. After 4 months my husband sent a somewhat nasty email mentioning bum %*&@ Egypt and an email response told him to stop running his mouth like a kid. It has now been 4 1-2 months they have had my bike and no word on when it will be sent back. And of coarse it's been paid for. I'm afraid we will have to sue. I would NOT recommend this company to anyone!!! Even if the paint job is magnificent the customer service is so bad that the paint won't have been worth it. Missing out on all the spring and summer riding!! And they said it would take 6-8 weeks!

Try an auto body shop, just make sure they know how to seal properly around the tank filler
