i repainted my tins with hot rod flatz for only $50. ( i already had spray equiptment) I only ended up using 1/4 of a 1 quart can.

do it yourself. its really not that hard, you'll save yourself a lot of money, and it feels good to do things yourself

First of all...josephGarcia.. That is a dope a$$ bike! Anyways, just this last weekend I Picked up a quart of Olive Pearl Denim for my 08 Nightster. Bought it at My Harley Davidson Dealership. It Cost $98 a quart and an extra $45 for the activator. That it! Clear coats not required for Denim from what I have been told. One quart is plenty of paint. I only bought it for a new fender i'm having installed.

Repaint it all Black and clear coat for $250. I willing to bet he'd do it ALOT cheaper. Call and ask for doug
$250 is pretty cheap for that amount of work. If he'd do it for a lot cheaper than that, or even cheaper, he's whoring himself out.
