Default Custom Painters?

I'm thinking about picking up a spare set of Tins and have them custom painted. Looking for someone that does some good custom painting and of course reasonably priced. Anyand all recommendations are appreciated.

I'm hoping to get a nice looking Orange/Cream (Creamsicle) type paint job.

Here's something that I'm looking at.

They painted my last bike for me. It was originally a black Deuce, but had it painted blue with white and blue real flames with a ghost Harley emblem. Amazing work and a good price. They also painted my dad's Fatboy. His was a brandywine and granite tribal design. That was a really nice paint job also. Both the Deuce and Fatboy are on his website. You can take a look at some of the other wok he's done. He can pretty much do anything you want. Great guy and easy to work with.

Here's a couple pictures of the Deuce he did for me.

Attitude painted my bike and I'm very happy with it. It's as slick as a factory job with absolutely no flaws. Easy folks to deal with and the price was right too! If you email Scott, you'll have answers in literally an hour or two. Always available by phone too. Talk to Scott and let him work his magic for you......I guarantee you'll be more than pleased.

I emailed Scott for an estiamte and your right in about 2 hours I had a quote. Pretty reasonable for sure. Not counting shipping it was $775 and I just need to send him the Decals if I want to add them.

If I can find a good deal on the Tins I will probably do it since I want to keep the originals.

But, of course I will do my homework first and look at some of the other suggested painters.

Thanks...

They also do a tin exchange or will sell you new tins. For mine I think it was a $500 core charge for the tins, but I just gave then my old metal when I picked up the new ones.

Mike,

My tanks at my painter as we speak. If you're not in any hurry I'll send pics when it's done. I'm in Buffalo, NY and my guy has a great rep. When I was researching painters I checked out Attitude, same deal - prompt response, good price and great work. They have a great reputation on this board and the other that I'm on. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.
