Hey, Does any one know of a web site that has pictures of stock Harley bikes from different years? looking for ideas of a winter paint project for my bike. Like the older paint schemes of past bikes. 60's 70's Thanks

ChromeJunkie,

What were their prices like, and what was the turn around time? Did you send you tins to them?

Prices are reasonable...Candy paint with metalflake ghost flames was $1700. Turnaround time was about 8 weeks. and yes I sent tins to them. Found them on Ebay, so I still have my original paint.

Chromejunkie,
They look really sweet. I just got a quote from them for a little over $2000 to redo my tins with my favorite little green Martian on them.
Considering what I want them to do it seems reasonable, and I have seen some of their work before and your right it really is first class stuff.

Citoriplus,
You should also get a quote from Hot Rod Grafixxx. That's who painted my Deuce. His prices are very reasonable and he does great work. I personally like his flames better than a lot of the ones I see done by Custom Flame Painting. I think the ones done by Custom Flame Painting look awesome, but I just think Hot Rod Grafixxx can do a better job, or at the very least just as good, and at a lower cost. You should find out what his price would be for your martian. www.hotrodgrafixxx.com
