Any bike painters on the board? Thinking about new paint after summer.

Any suggestions on local painters?

I'd recoMmend checking with Carmen "Cowboy" Allen in Ft. Worth. His bikes are custom painted and look incredible.

Check with Jerry at Fort Worth Auto Body. He owns a valkyrie that he bought from Carmen Allen (Cowboy) and painted it himself and it looks incredible. He is going to paint my black Interstate in about a month or so. Here is a link to his business:

Unanimous so far...

I think I remember talking to you about that at Po' Melvin's a couple months ago.... Same guy that painted the bike that was there that night? That bike looked awesome. I don't need one as detailed as that, but looks like he does great work.

What kind of scheme are you gonna have done?

Still deciding on the paint color but it will probably be one color with some metal flake and clearcoat.   Smiley

Yeah I want to get mine repainted eventually.  I want to stay with the fast black, but have the extremely fine blue metalflake in the paint then have a blue clearcoat to make it unique.  I am still testing the aerodynamics of the regular fast black and my future paint job. Grin So far there won't be any loss of "fast" that I can see Evil
