Default New Paint Preview

I picked up the side covers today and the rest in a week or two. I saw the fender without clear and one of the bags is done but only cell phone pics. What do you think?

Is that marbleized flames? I can't tell by the photos. Red flames look good against black. Should be nice.

Looks great! I'm partial to flames, and those look super. Can't wait to see the entire project. I'd believe the price... let us know what a screamin' deal you got.

The guy is doing the Outer fairing, Tank, Both side bags, Front fender, Both side covers, and Lower fairing caps. Painting all of the parts black. Then Silver Marble, Out lining the flames in red, then a red candy over all of it before what he says needs 10 coats of clear for just over $1100.00

That is a lot of work for $1100. Maybe the guy just figures it is better than not doing any work at all. Probably a lot less demand for $4000 paint jobs in this economy.
