Hey guys just wanted to share the excellent work my painter did on my tank/seat. His name is Eric Nordquist and he does really nice work with very reasonable prices. There are no decals here this is all paint.

Excellent paint job. I really like the color scheme.

Nice! And a 400F too, haven't seen one done like that before. Do you have a project thread for your bike? Would love to see what you're working on. That seat base is cool too, matches the lines of the tank well. Did you make it yourself?

Wow that looks great. Who's the painter?

veloracermike · « **Reply #11 on:** February 14, 2012, 08:30:21 AM »

Hey all thanks for the positive response. Like I said I'm super happy with the work he did...it looks 10x better in person. I've received a few PM's about pricing so I figure I'd just let everyone know. The total cost (just got the bill last night) was 649.35. That includes the headlight and ring which aren't shown and the chrome headlight ring and the tank being media blasted at a cost of 97.00. Had I known his guy was going to charge so much I would have had it done myself, my sandblaster would have done it for about 30 bucks. Again this has no decals it's all paint and the logo's look totally factory. Again thanks for all the positive responses and I'll post some pics with the bike back together once I get it there.

Don't kid yourself, you got a decent if not good deal considering the quality of the work. I was speaking with a salesman at one of the Honda dealers here in Dallas when I noticed quite a few of their bikes were custom painted. Very good quality, all metallic or pearl finishes. I asked how much it would be to get that quality of a job on my old tank and side covers. The guy didn't blink and said $1200. Maybe they've been hanging out with Whitney Houston.

Really good looking work, and very reasonable price. Im tempted to mail him some of my stuff...

Before I knew that Eric did M/C stuff I hit one of the local guys here that does a lot of Harley stuff and he quoted me 1300 and he was going to use decals. I didn't get a good deal in the sense that just I paid what Eric charges...he does great work for the money. Eric has been doing this now for about 2 years, I've got a feeling that his prices are going to start to climb as the demand for his work increases.

Shoot, I'm tempted to drive my stuff down there.

That is very cheap.. and looks very good.. he will get swamped soon...

leogriss · « **Reply #17 on:** February 15, 2012, 12:08:21 AM »

rad!!! what's the source of the seat if you don't mind me asking!! =)

veloracermike · « **Reply #18 on:** February 15, 2012, 02:58:48 AM »

The seat is a Dime City Cycles Roadster. They make a great product. Very solid with excellent fiberglass work.

Bluegreen · « **Reply #19 on:** February 18, 2012, 04:36:10 PM »

Well done painter!! Now do we get to see the whole bike ?

65Ch3v3LL3 · « **Reply #20 on:** February 19, 2012, 01:55:30 AM »

Great price indeed. I just got a quote for two hard bags and a Street Glide rear fender for my new Road King. Dealer wanted $1800 and the parts come from Harley already primered. I told him he could stick it! I might have to call this guy. Thanks for the info.

nvr2old · « **Reply #21 on:** February 19, 2012, 11:52:10 AM »

That's a very nice paint job.

You got a rippin' deal for $650. Materials for every bike I paint comes to at least 3-400 bux alone.

veloracermike · « **Reply #22 on:** February 25, 2012, 04:26:21 PM »

Quick mock up.

Damn, looks great !!

B.O.X.N.I.F.E. · « **Reply #25 on:** February 25, 2012, 06:10:41 PM »

I hope you were joking, 650 is about half what I would have guessed that paintjob ran.

veloracermike · « **Reply #26 on:** February 25, 2012, 06:45:26 PM »

LOL no joke that was the price..thanks for all the positive response. It looks awesome in person. The metallic in the gold and the pearl in the white really pop

bender01 · « **Reply #27 on:** February 26, 2012, 05:40:42 PM »

Looks sharp! Great price on a quality paint job too.
