Got some Marchesini's for my wife's Ducati and had them powdercoated crinkle black like my '09 CR.

Trying to get a red pinstripe painted on them similar to my CR. Anyone know where to go in the Houston area?

Got a quote from a custom paint shop of $200-250 which seems a little high to me.

Don't wanna go the decal route.

Suggestions welcome.

Thanks,
Nels

It might be hard to paint a crisp line on crinkle finish but I'd be tempted to just mount it on the bike, lift the wheel off the ground, give it a slow spin and hit it with a paint brush.

I would try the same thing, but maybe with a good paint-marker!
