Ok, I know some do not like this color combination...
I have a very GENERAL question for those who know paint/body work. What should it cost (Fair price for a good job) to have the paint job "Ripped"? By a compitent painter. (OR is this something that can be done on an existing paint job?) By "Ripped" I mean have the black/gold edges look torn. I think this would look Bad ***! And if someone steals my idea, I'll be ticked! LOL,, (But go ahead, I think it would be a nice looking combination) If I get one of these, that is what I'll look to have done.

your gonna need someone that does custom graphics and you will prolly have to repaint all the black to get the effect you want... as far as price I have no idea but for sure dont expect it to be cheap

Why would you want to mess with perfection?

Well, I like the color combo too. Probably because way back in 68-69 my dear ole Dad had one with very near the same color combo. (More Gold, than bronze.. but it was on an Electra Glide.) So I guess it kinda brings back memories for me. I do like it too, just thought the "Torn" look for the black would look sweet.

Just buy another set of primered sheet metal. Paint it how you want it, store current set for 10 years and then sell it for $4 K.
