Bike Painting

[gmc72]

A couple of years ago I dropped my tank while trying to remove it. It has a few chips and scratches in it. I'm thinking of having it re-painted and am wondering if anyone can recommend a good shop. The bike is currently red, but I might be looking at changing it to a dark grey or gunmetal.

Thanks.

Depending on how bad the chips and scratches are you should maybe consider a vinyl wrap of the tank if youre not looking to color match. Unless its super curvy with a ton of angles and weird lines you could totally do this yourself with a good air release film.

Thanks. If I change the color of the tank, I'm going to change the color on everything. I might just see how much to re-paint the tank the factory color.

I did 2 bike tanks myself, its very simple just prep it right. I have had a few bikes Hydrodipped and it looks amazing, always held up well to. Might be an option.

Call up Bob. He's a phenomenal auto body tech (who also builds street rods). He did two of my bikes for me. $600 for the Vrod. $480 for my Vulcan. 403 401 8010

Vrod. Street rod edition. I'm putting Ducati stickers on both bikes just to fuck with people. I'm SO sick of people asking if my Vulcan is a Harley. Nope. It most certainly isn't.

I don't know his last name. He's the painter auto body guru I was referring to you.

Your signature is huge now that your photobucket link is broken.

Thanks for telling me. I have no idea since I turned off the option of seeing signatures. Okay I'll remove it now. Thanks for the heads up.

Painting is put off for another year. I got a new to me car, so any other car/bike related things are on hold.
