dropped off for paint
I dropped the bike off this afternoon, going with pearl white with a white ghost pinstripe. Painting the fairing and harley trunk as well. Got a price of $800 on this simple layout.

Don't forget the pics when it's finished. Pearl white is my favorite color.

Sounds cool. White would be my favorite choice.
I seriously am thinking of having mine repainted this winter also. Although white would be my favorite choice; since my bike is black (dark bronze technically... Ha! to those on a previous post); I thought of having it painted in two-tone... keeping the black/bronze in combination with an "old-school" cream-color with an orange or red "type" color pinstripe separating the two colors. I would have thought that it would be more than $800; but maybe I should check it out to see just what it might cost. As Valdez asked; I would worry about the frame color clashing with any paint job done; and wouldn't want to take the entire bike apart to change the frame color. Make sure we see plenty of pics!!

I like that pearl white. Glad to know somebody is going to try it for me first. You're going to the rally ain't you?

John,
That sounds like a great price for the paint job. I can't wait to see it. Rich |

A couple of Venture's ago I had my 87 pianted Pearl White. It looked beautiful! You will be very pleased!!! Chrome does stand out and the black should not be a problem. If the black is - then you just gotta cover it in chrome - see no problem!

*drool*
$800? That's it? Man, I'm moving to your state.. :) Very much looking forward to pictures when you get it back... what's the turnaround time? I've been toying with the idea of painting mine - either pearl white or black. Can't make up my mind. Gave it a good bath and detail this weekend and caught myself admiring the green/silver. Dang.

the bike is finished and is being put back togather. The paint looks great, with one exception (side panels) that I will be having redone. I dont have a photobucket account but if one of you that has an account will email me I will send you picks of the bike painted Pearl White.
It looks faster and more comfortable already |
