Tank Painting - Recomendations

[arai_speed]

Hey guys/gals, I plan on having my tank (it's pearl white now) re-painted and wanted to know who you guys have used and how much did it run you?  The tank I have now has a few scratches that I would like to get fixed and a new coat of paint  might be just what's needed.

Thanks!

send it to Nate.  he did mine and I get drool slopped on my bike every time I take it out.  PM him (ducpainter) for details.

I emailed him, got an initial response, I followed up twice after that and never heard back from him hence my post.  I'm sure Nate does great work but there's got to be other places/people to get stuff painted.

Thanks!

Your tank...is worth money to some people who want an OEM white tank. Why dont you sell it and buy a crashed tank to paint? I'd feel bad about painting over such a nice white tank!

I don't want to change the color, I want to have it re-painted in Pearl White once again and in the process remove some of the minor scratches the tank has now

ahhh. Have you tried to use plastic polish? or a rubbing compound? I have THOUSANDS of small scratches all over my tank, xpt its black, so you can see them all.

Try using the yellow pages... Locally is easy and there are no shipping costs either...

Mine cost $300.00 to go from red to satin black...

Sounds like I messed up.

It happens, but I sincerely apologize.

edit: out of curiosity... did you use my business email or the one listed in my profile?

No worries man 

I used the email in your profile:

painter @ metro...

I used to stick to a hard and fast rule to keep all my business on my business mail. It's easier to keep track.

I didn't do that this time.

It won't happen again.

Again I apologize for not following through.

bad Nate!  no... poptart?  cheese whiz?  caviar?

seriously...
I took my bike out for a test ride after installing yet another new headlight and the looks I got were hilarious.  Folks need to learn to watch the road and not the beautiful motorcycle waiting to enter traffic.  One after another head stuck on my ride- drivers/passengers- even kids and babies!  Can't thank Nate enough for that.  Where were you when I was single!?  ... err- that didn't come out quite the way I meant it to.
