Have You Had Your Harley Repainted?
Has anyone had their bike repainted?
I have an Silver 07 Road King Classic that still looks very nice (see video below), but I'm growing a little tired of the same look. I'd like to get a custom paint job to give my bike a different look. I'm looking to do this during the Winter so I don't have to worry about down time.
I'd like to know if you have had your bike repainted what you paid for your paint job, and if any of you took your tank, fenders and side panels off to save money? Below is a video of what my bike looks like now.

I collected a complete set of perfect used tins with the base color I wanted then had the scallops added and cleared. I then swapped out the tins and sold my old set. Cost about nine hundred just for the paintwork.

Yep. Got sick of all that copper and when I did bags and fender I painted the whole bike. Had about $200 in materials and a painter buddy that owed me a favor. Is not that hard to remove the tins. When you reassemble after paint it helps to have a friend or 2 around to lend a hand

Custom paint
Yes. My SG is an 07. Originally black cherry. I tired of it too. Got it painted in Oct 2010.

Maybe just do some ghost/accent flames on it and see how you like that?
I've been thinkin' about that. Dan Kite is about due to come out here to the rally where I live close to.. so I am considering it, but I am ok with it too as is, but it is a bit mono, which in my mind is better than a two/tone any day.
