What Should a Motorcycle Paint Job Cost?

I would think that $300 would be a "buddy" price. If you took the pieces to a shop, they'd probably charge you twice that. The way they look at it, if you have the disposable income to be custom painting a motorcycle, they are going to charge you whatever they think they can get away with. If it's an HD. Get your wallet out. My buddy dented the tank on his Harley and wanted to get it fixed and repainted. It was cheaper to buy a new tank, and that was $800!!!!! It still has the dent in it...
