dropped off for paint

gopjohnny · 01-03-2009, 08:30 PM

I dropped the bike off this afternoon, going with pearl white with a white ghost pinstripe. Painting the fairing and harley trunk as well. Got a price of $800 on this simple layout.

Sounds really cool. Keep us posted as you get it finished. Pictures would be great too.

rlfaubion · 01-03-2009, 09:16 PM

Great color IMO.... Are you painting the frame too?

**Cajunrider** · 01-03-2009, 09:26 PM

Don't forget the pics when it's finished. Pearl white is my favorite color.

**glwilson** · 01-03-2009, 09:41 PM

Sounds cool. White would be my favorite choice.

I seriously am thinking of having mine repainted this winter also.

Although white would be my favorite choice; since my bike is black (dark bronze technically... Ha! to those on a previous post); I thought of having it painted in two-tone... keeping the black/bronze in combination with an "old-school" cream-color with an orange or red "type" color pinstripe separating the two colors.

I would have thought that it would be more than $800; but maybe I should check it out to see just what it might cost.

As Valdez asked; I would worry about the frame color clashing with any paint job done; and wouldn't want to take the entire bike apart to change the frame color.

Make sure we see plenty of pics!!

gopjohnny · 01-03-2009, 11:14 PM

not painting the frame, but I think the black frame will not clash too bad with the white, pics will be coming up when its done

pirate · 01-03-2009, 11:58 PM

Looking forward to pics of the finished product.

**Kawhead** · 01-04-2009, 12:44 AM

I like that pearl white. Glad to know somebody is going to try it for me first. You're going to the rally ain't you?

gopjohnny · 01-04-2009, 07:49 AM

I doubt I will be able to make the rally, still might but doesnt look like it

John,
That sounds like a great price for the paint job. I can't wait to see it.

A couple of Venture's ago I had my 87 pianted Pearl White. It looked beautiful! You will be very pleased!!! Chrome does stand out and the black should not be a problem. If the black is - then you just gotta cover it in chrome - see no problem!

**taranis** · 01-05-2009, 08:56 AM

*drool*

$800? That's it? Man, I'm moving to your state.. :)
Very much looking forward to pictures when you get it back... what's the turnaround time?

I've been toying with the idea of painting mine - either pearl white or black. Can't make up my mind. Gave it a good bath and detail this weekend and caught myself admiring the green/silver.

Dang.

gopjohnny · 01-05-2009, 08:29 PM

he said he can t urn it around in about a week, things are a little slow in the motorcycle repair/painting business right now

gopjohnny · 01-16-2009, 07:35 PM

the bike is finished and is being put back togather. The paint looks great, with one exception (side panels) that I will be having redone. I dont have a photobucket account but if one of you that has an account will email me I will send you picks of the bike painted Pearl White.

It looks faster and more comfortable already
