Default Custom Paint Nearing Completion... Pics Inside! (Updated 3-7-08)

Wanted to share some pictures my painter just sent me. He still has to do the pin striping, final clears and cut and polish, but I was so excited when I saw them, I thought you guys would get a kick out of them.

Believe it or not, this paint is for a 2007 Ultra. The bike has been cleaned up with FLHX saddlebag supports and a new set of RC Components Calypso wheels (21/18).

Let me know what you guys think...

My painter lives in Phoenix, I'm in Atlanta. Cost me almost $300 bucks in ground shipping just to get all the tins to him... LOL! I just fell in love with his work once I saw it. He paints and has painted for some of the most popular "big name" custom paint companies out there. I contacted him though his own website though:

http://shawnwilken.com/

or

http://airtiteart.com/

Both these sites are Shawns. I just really dig his airbrush style and he was super cool to work with. I can't wait to see what pinstripe color he goes with...

What did it $$$?
Keep in mind all the parts on an Ultra: front fender, outer fairing, inner fairing, inner fairing cap, lower fairings, gas tank, side covers, saddlebags/lids, tour pak/lid, tour pak light bar, rear fender. I also purchased and had him paint the new tri-bar extension kit for the rear fender (the one that looks like the FLHX rear fender tip).

Having mentioned all that, and without being too specific, It's between 3 and 4K. I also had him totally smooth out the front fender. No holes, lights, rivets or fender skirt.
