Can anyone paint?  

and possibly fix a small dent on a gas tank?

I can do both.  The expensive part is matching the paint you have.  I have two different shades of red, but neither is a standard Honda color.

The "artiste" with a paint sprayer is Charles.  He will certainly do you a better job than I will, so you might want to ride through Texarkana on the way down to Houston.  Or, ride over to Austin for a day or so, where I live, if second best is good enough :cool: :cool:.

I could certainly set up a small tent on the gas tank for you.  don't think it would really be of use, but I will make sure it looks like a tent.  I guess I could paint the tent too.   ;)
Sorry, Dan, I could not resist.  Actually didn't even catch the typo till the 3rd time I read it.

Paint color is not an issue for me. 

I really don't care what color the bike is as long as its not pink :P.




That's  my dent again for those inquiring to the size. 

This was taken before I put rustoleum (candy red) on the dent to prevent rust forming on the tank.  It ain't pretty but I did it for the "rust".

unforeseen issue has come up which may cancel the trip.... :(.

I'm leaving my apartment, but I need to find a roommate to continue the lease.

If I can't find one in time, I'm going to have to keep working up in NYC till I do.

I have ad's up on CL and housing boards as we speak.

Now, I'll just pray...

After some more research,

I'm going to x nay on springs and steel.

Tires, Speakers, Lights, and Speedometer still on list.

Don't forget paint/dent fix :)
