Yeah..... It's just 3 parts but, it was all canfy, flake, pearl and a double clear coat with #1 skull graphics, and he does an undercoating and even glues the wiring channels in! He does a core, or the option to allow you to keep your OEM tins...... I am the biggest cheap skate I know. I personally reccomend this dude, he treated me really well, and even changed the paint scheme for me in the first quarter of the job. here is the link to the paintjob, as well as photos on MY actual bike:

I have a custom paint set on my Heritage. The quality is great and I absolutely love it. You could probably sell your CVO paint set on EBAY for a good price to offset the cost.

OP. I can't say Ive ever seen a Harley tin set on an ultra. Lots of custom one off sets though. You would be able to get a good price if you sold your CVO set to help recover some of the cost.

I think if I was going to get a CVO and didn't like any of the colors, I would have it painted exactly like I wanted and not limit myself to the Harley paint sets. I would just find a good painter and go from there.

That's what I'm thinking at this point. I want it painted like I want it painted...

I've been thinking of getting my SG painted... But it's the hot white denim and I don't see very many of them around Houston. It's a tough choice but if I do I will probably go with vivid dragon.
