Needed some touch up done on Sarah's plastics. It took a little longer than I would of expected but the wait was well worth it. The plastics look brand new and you can barely tell that they were ever messed up. Paint match was spot on also. Couldnt be happier.

Price was very fair as well. Was less than other members have told me about for jobs that were probably less work intensive.

Thanks Joe!!

You paid a bike shop to fix plastics??? Wow, thats odd, I like to find an old guy who has being doing it for like 20 years and has a shop in his garage, and it only costs like 50 bucks for a whole side... but thats just me.

Yes I did pay and it was worth it. I would rather go to a reputable place and know I will be getting a good job done. You often get what you pay for anyway. It's like getting a tattoo. Would you want to get a tattoo at half the price at some random guy? No, he will must likely fuck up or use cheap ink. You are paying for their time and skill. It's an art.

They were pretty badly rashed up as well as cracked in one place. I've met these guys at a few bike shows now and decided to try them out.

They charged $100 to prep and repaint parts of the upper assembly and nearly an entire side of the left fairing. All I know is that the paint match and everything came out perfect. You could never tell they were even messed up. I wish I would have taken pictures of them before.

Well with todays technology it is hard to mess up a paint match, you put a little computer thing on it, and it tells you the correct paint mixture....

We will give everyone a good deal. We have three painters that are real good and we give them jobs based on who can do the job the best. It like in any business.... some guys do things better than others. The majority of my bike is airbrushed and my guy did a better job than I expected and I'm a dick when it comes to paint work.

lol. if it was THAT easy I would have done it myself.

Yeah you can get the paint easily enough but getting it the same shade is the tough part. you have to use the correct base coat then use the correct amount of coats and then apply the clear coat.

c'mon dude if it was really SOOO easy, painters would be out of a job and everyone would do it themselves with their "little computer thing"

not to be a dick,but paint matching is hard,its not just about the color, once the color is on,you have to blend it, theirs alot more to it than what you say,but hell,your ASE certified to paint, what do i know...i dont have a single ASE. not that i cant get them,to get an ASE you gotta take a writen test, and you get study guides.
-im chrysler certified, and PPG certified though.
ive heard alot of good things about this place. if theirs something i cant do,i think ill be taking it in their.
LOL, I paint all my own stuff, but then again I am ASE certified to paint.....
