I'm picking up my new street glide tomorrow, and I'm already thinking about some paint.

I'm wondering about getting some ghost flames, but I have no idea how much they might cost. Anyone have some flames painted? I'm looking for a general idea here.

Also, if anyone knows of a good bike painter in Central IL, let me know!

Thanks!

 

Ken's in downtown Peoria. Awesome work

 

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to look them up.

Anyone have any pictures of Ken's work, or anyone know roughly an idea of what I could be looking at for prices?

 

no one has ever bought flames?

 

Price depends on each painter. Just a guestimate, at least $1500 up to $3000. Every panel of your bike would have to be taken off to be painted... ghost flames really suck as a painter because there is so much sanding envolved if done correctly.

 

WOW!! How many......Geez! That looks COOL would it take to make the 3K paint worth it??????????! Gimme a break!!!

 

Yeah, I was afraid someone might say that. I could probably swing it over the winter, if it was closer to the lower end.

thanks for the info.

 

I had them on my old Fatboy. Was awesome looking.

He sprayed the entire base black. Then he painted the flames in a silver. Then he sprayed the entire tank with Organic Candy Green.

Along with tons of sanding and clear coat, the result was green ghost flames, with a black base that would reflect green in the sunlight. Freakin' awesome. Sometimes wish I had never gotten rid of that bike, but I do love my SG.

 

Sometimes people are willing to pay for something because they like it, not because they will get an ego boost from compliments. Just sayin'.

 

i have some ghosting on mine, you can see some of it in my sig pic. Pricing is going to vary depending on how extensive y ou want the work to be.
