Default Custom paint..

Well, looks like this winter I will be getting my bike fully repainted with some custom airbrush work done. I would like to see who has some work done and by whom did you get it done by. Please post as many pics as you can..

Thanks....

Bike in question:

This is like asking a forum what should your tattoo be. This is a very personal question and something you should decide on. I spend a few months going over every custom bike, car, truck mag I can and marking what I like and what I may want to include. Then I bring the final few works into my painter and we talk a while about what I want and what I do NOT want. THAT is very important, what you do NOT want. Then the color pallet comes last, what colors do you want and where. Let the painter have some freedom to make your paint different

I wasn't asking for ideas, I was asking for pics of people who have had custom work done. I know exactly what I want and the colors it will be. I would just like to find a good airbrusher and see examples of his/her work!!

Ahhh, sorry then, my bad. It would help to know your location so you can get some local shops to you. I had these guys do my Road Glide;
