Ok, now I have another question for those that are familiar with the Bradenton/Sarasota areas. I've got an idea for a paint job for my 2011 48. Nothing elaborate, solid color with a center "racing" stripe down the center of the tank in either satin or flat black. The work will probably be just the tank although I'm kinda visioning fenders as well... Can't see it being as expensive as doing my car, that's for sure...

Basically anyone have any recommendations for reputable, reasonably priced but good paint shops?

Thanks,

-Jason

Can't tell you the name of the place but if you are going west on Hwy 70 into Bradenton take a left on 15th street south. Go a short mile and pass the light where 57th ave turns west. Look to your left and there is an old strip mall just as soon as you pass the light. On the far left end as you are looking east there are some Mexican brothers that have a paint shop. Excellent work and reasonable rates. This is right in the middle of the hood so don't go looking for it at night.
