These guys did my RG this past spring. Talk with Mike, he's the owner, tell him Spike sent you and he'll treat you right.

Far too little for what we had to paint. 35 total pieces got painted, and I told Mike it was going to be a lot of work. He had never taken on a full tourer like my RG with a trunk before. With just the straight black, it wasn't too bad a job really. But add all the graphics on top of the paint, that's where the cost shot up. I paid $5k for the 4 color paint job. Here's a list of what got painted to match;
Fairing black/yella/blue/silver
Klock Werks windshield black
Inner fairing black/yella/blue/silver
Speedo nacelle black
Front turn signals Yella
Fenders black/Yella/blue/silver
Tank black/Yella/blue/silver
Center console/CB dash/fuel cover/push button fuel door release black
Side covers black/Yella/blue/silver
Bags/trunk black/Yella/blue/silver
Spoilers on bags and trunk black
Rear turn signals black
License plate laydown bracket black
Name plate in the trunk black
Street Glide fender fascia black
Brake light mount black
