Getting a pro to paint

Ok-

I've been practicing and I think I've been getting better but I decided to let a pro paint my baby.

I called around and got a guy in a car restoration shop that will paint the fairing, front fender, tank, side panels and tailpiece for $200 using PPG paints 4 coats color and 4 coats clear.

Does that sound like a good deal?

That is cheap. Go for it.

does he paint many bikes?;)ive been disapointed by car painters before,especially when it comes to painting frames.those guys are used to big flat work surfaces,curves really screw with some of em.

Considering the cost of paint, he's almost doing it for free.

I wish I knew someone that would paint for that price.

I paid $450 for my paint job. That was a guy who was in his second year of body and paint at Boise State. Go for it!

That's a great price. Do most paint jobs come with any warranty? Like maybe 3 months guarantee? I'd feel better knowing I'd have a nice paintjob last that long.
