Lucky me!
« on: April 26, 2009, 03:09:38 PM »
Just got all my CB400 stuff back from the painters. WOW!  I’m sooo pleased with the result. And with a bunch of goodies on route from David Silver, I’m in for some good times in the near future…   :)

Sure I can tell you the price tag on this paintjob, but two things to consider. First, this is Denmark and not the US, and secondly, this guy who paints for me is a real find. 20 years of experience in painting motorcycles and dirt cheep at the same time. I had 20+ items painted. No cheap powder coating but all “wet painted”, decals applied, 3 layers clear coat on tank and side covers, also special “plastic paint” used on rear inner fender and air box. All in all 2500 Danish kroner which is less than 500 US dollars. Granted, all the parts had a almost fresh coat of paint on, so he probably saved some time in preparation before painting. - But I’m VERY pleased with it…     :)
