Greg:
Thanks. That's high praise indeed. But Ole man actually pretty well stepped me through it. He had to explain a couple of times that I needed to take the bike to the paint store to see if they could match it. Then he gave me step by step instructions on how to paint it. It looks good enough that I'm happy with it. But up close and in person, the finish isn't really professional. I left Ole mans name out of my initial reports because I didn't want him getting credit for a less than professional job. I sure appreciate his help though. My first quote for paint was $154 for the paint, and $100 at a body shop to put it on. I'm happy to trade that last 5% quality for the $237 savings.
