its a wonder ya could get the bike painted for a mere $4000! LOL but then getting that tank and fender just right! why it would take weeks, months!!!!! ha and thousands in materials! Ha
I think I did an OK job myself... Pearls and metallics can be a pain in the butt to work with.
BTW this picture was after the tank went through a 2nd repaint. The first attempt sucked, it had a mottled effect as I didn't evenly paint the surface.
