Yea I checked it out and noticed it didn't have the depth and clarity that my paint has. Maybe some buffing will get right.:shock:

 

What would a great paint job cost?

If I were to get a new Wing and wanted the color changed, I would want a great first rate paint job with a few clear coats. I wonder what a custom paint shop would get for it? Labor to remove and paint and reassemble can't be cheep. Anyone care to take a guess...

 

Honda of Russellville AR seems to have gotten it right on their bikes.

I just looked at their website, they've got some nice looking bikes.........

I think the reason for that is -They are a lot further away from the EPA than Schroeder's is :lol:

 

I think the reason for that is

Sorry, Hokie, but distance from the EPA has nothing to do with the quality of a paint job. Even the best of painters
will get orange peel sometimes. That's what block sanding and polishing are for. To send a motorcycle to a national
gathering with an inferior paint job is just sad.

To heck with 'sad', it is really counter-productive....

"Hi! Look at the cr__py paint job we want to use for marketing!"

That's what suprised me. I wonder if they just think the Goldwing crowd could not care less about quality?

You would probably be looking at $800 just to remove and re-install all the tupperware. And, with all the pieces to be painted, the polished, there's no telling how much a good paint job could cost. Minimum $2000 would be my guess. I had a gas tank and 2 side covers painted for a 1975 CL360 and it was $900.

E-You've ridden my bike so you know he paint quality.

My two toned paint job cost me $1700 & $300 shipping both ways. I pulled and reinstalled my parts. 2 days off 2 days back together.

The smooth as glass paint job is 4 years old and still looks like a new bike. It was one of the last things Tony of Road Trip Essentials painted before he had to shut down.




Orange peel in any paint job is just plain unattractive no matter what it costs.

 

Even though the paint job was inferior the color was damn nice looking. I didn't get within the 10' radius, lol.

I agree. The green and the copper were both stunning colors.

 

I bought my trike new at Russelville AR. It started out as a black bike but 80 of the color was changed before it every had a mile on it. I haven't noticed any problems with my paint and think they did a great job.

Just flew out to Arkansas to look at the paint quality at Russellville Honda. Bought the bike on the spot. Unbelievable price, even with the custom paint.
