Do you have a gallery of bikes you've done that I might look at?

Thanks,

I got this address from someone on this forum.

I've posted about Scott Ferrel and Attitude Custom Flame Painting. He does great work at reasonble prices. He painted my Fat Boy (in my photo gallery) 4 or 5 years ago for around $1000. Prices have likely gone up, and, of course, with a bagger you have more to paint so obviously it would cost more. You can see hundreds of jobs at his web site. I strongly recommend that the original poster contact Scott for a quote.

Here's a sample:

 

Custom Paint should be just that..... "ONE OF A KIND"....
Depending on where you live there are alot of awesome painters out and about...

 

beautiful work. Thanks for the tip! I checked out the site and they definitely do outstanding art.

 

If your looking at spending that much money. Do a yourself a favor. Scott Takes from Cedar Rapids, Iowa paints for Choppers Inc. and I know that you can get custom paint done through him cheaper than $5K... Depending upon how indepth though. Here is a link to his web site. Half of the **** he has painted isn't on there. I know he's been on the "Discovery" Channel. Link here ---> http://www.undergroundartstudios.com/

 

I got an estimate on my ultra... right now its glacier white and i want to paint it vivid black w/ no pinstriping...... and the estimate was $1400 with me buying the paint, and me taking the the tins and disasembled paks in.

 

Nope. Keeping the leather ones. I figure there is no reason to spend good money on bags, when what I have will work just fine. Plus, without painting the bags, it will not cost as much to paint.

 

I did my own paint with the guidance of a buddy that is a certified painter. He frenched the Maxima bumber lights for me and got it to Silver, then I took over and painted the graphics, pinstripes and snake pattern. I painted the blue and he came back in to clear the whole thing. I then wetsanded and buffed the clear to add the finishing touch... depth!!! (see my photo gallery)

If I had to guess what this would have cost me it would have been around $5k! But that is alot more than solid color! And for anyone that ever doubts why it is so much, try fitting and refitting 18 pieces of the dresser to be painted!

We only charge around $1500-2000 to put all 18 pieces in color.

Make sure if you are painting it that you paint the inner fairing it looks much better painted and consider any add on you are thinking about that will be much easier with the bike disassembled ie. chrome lowers braided cables, guages . Also consider small things like shaving the rivets from the front fender for a clean look or installing a electronic antenna inside the fairing and filling in the tourpak where the antenna is, small things like these will save you time and money in the future.
