    ran across a really good deal on painting in the atlanta area. i was kinda worried at first but after seeing the final product. i had a full set of tins and tank. i told the guy to surprize me with the paint job. this is on my 87 virago he wants me to bring the bike back so he can wet sand and buff it out on the bike (i just took him the parts) he was afraid he would send them flying with the buffer. i started wet sanding and polishing yesterday its almost 2 hr drive so i decided to do it. if anyone in the area wants custom paint let me know he told me he would do custom jobs for any of my friends for 200 bucks including paint pm me can give you his email. the fender pics are from his camera phone so they arent to good :idea:

    Oooooh...... nice work
    After looking at the fender I starterd thinking, what would the head of the critter from "Alien" look like on a fender :)

    That's an incredible deal.I can't imagine anyone doing even a regular factory style paint job for anywhere near that cheap.

    Looks great btw,ya gotta love skullage 8)

    If I weren't so poor,I'd sure enough go for it.My paint's pretty shabby on the bodywork,but oddly,the po just repainted everything else from the looks of it,even the exhaust.

    Every time I shut it off,I smell the new paint burning off the exhaust and engine,I love that smell

    Picture this: A skull on the fender similar to the photo, just more centered, maybe a little more like The Punisher, and install 2 LED round brake lights for eyes and a row of white LED lights for teeth....
