Default Harley body shops

Do Harley service centers have body shops? Like if you want to get a tank painted.

I think most shops outsource paint or ship back to the factory.

Or you can send it to Mike (Mikesgliden) and have it back in two weeks. He painted both of the pictured above and is about to start a new paint job on his bagger.
