Well I pulled the plug today and dropped my new 2013 Road Glide off at the painters. Not having much done, just a little individuality. Day one of a two week job is done, hope I can make it 13 more!

What all are you getting painted?

I'm picking up an all white FLHTP next week and just brainstorming a paint job for next winter's mod list... any ball park on what it costs to have the tins painted? Even just something simple (1 or 2 colors).

Where are you located?

Located in East Central Illinois, I'm getting the "stripe" that runs from the front fairing back through the saddlebags "filled" in with Harley Orange. The other lone stripe on the fairing is getting closed and filled in as well.

You might take a picture of your bike and toy with a paint program to see what make you happy, that's what I did.

Getting the seat done as well with some orange inserts.
