I went to the paint shop a few days back to get an appointment setup and try and go over a few color choices... came up with a few and they are 1971 plum crazy off the Cuda with the black stripes down the side, the typical white with the blue stripes down the top, or a flat blue....anyone want to give a shot at photo shopping the plum crazy one with the little horizontal stripes on a 08 frame. I am not real picky about great detail just the basic idea of colors.

Not sure you'd even want to explore this option, but the upside is you'd have two bikes.

I'd imagine that an excellent paint job these days must cost at least 4G's.

I don't want to go to that extreme. Just a simple paint and some stripes. That bikes is just over the top....cool but not my taste.

I guess I'm lucky, I have a few friends in the spray business and a few in the tattoo business..

I just bought a spare top fairing and rear fairing for the "R" and I plan to give them (plus theside fairing kit) to a mate for him to spray a big American flag running the full length of the bike but in Silver and Black and covered in Black Lacquer to make it a bit more subtle..

He reckons about $450 should do it..

He's already painted a few of my bies in the past so i know he's gooood!

This is the first chop he painted for me:

Nice detail. The price that I was giving was $125 plus the paint. I don't think that is an unfair price. I would only be doing the plastics. I believe that I could get it all done for less then $300.
