we at Color Designs are tired of people charging huge amounts for motorcycle
paint jobs. We got into painting bikes because we like painting bikes and
because of that are now offering high quality paint jobs at affordable prices.
We not only will paint your bike but if you have any body damage we will repair
it or find a piece to replace it at a great price. Our motto is simple. if you
can think of it we can paint it. Please email me to see a bike we just
finished. And here is where we help you. If you recommend someone to us and
they get their bike painted(the whole bike lol) we give you a 50 dollars fee.
Thats right you tell someone to have there bike painted by us and you get 50
dollars for no work.any questions email us at OmegaCol...@yahoo.com

Here's the thing. I work with one of the finest painters in the business. To
do a good job takes time and requires expensive materials. If you use crappy
paint and/or hurry the job, it'll look like shit and won't last a year. If
you claim to do it "real cheap", you are either naive or you're cutting
corners.

But they aren't spending any money for advertising (well, none of their
own anyway). And they probably do all of their customers a big favor and
drain their gas (into their own vehicles).

Of course anybody stupid enough to deal with newsgroup spammers deserves
the quality of the job they get.

Funny, back in '96, I dropped my bike at a small family-run dealer, and told
them to replace the gas tank and throw a ghost flame paint job on the new
tank. They charged $325 for the ghost-flame paint job from an "independent
contractor." It looked great then and it still looks great. I'm not saying a
painter shouldn't charge for his labor - there can be a lot of labor in
stripping the old paint and fixing sheet metal. What I am saying is that
painters who refuse to work with anything other than $900/quart paint are
out to make themselves look good at the customer's expense. Spending that
kind of money on a regular street bike is wasting money, not cutting
corners.

FWIW,

Lucky you.

Not always. Shit paint looks like shit paint and if the guy can't work
thepaintgun, it looks bad anyway. I've seen tons of shitty paint jobs.
believe me. flame jobs where you can see the airbrush marks and all are
bad looking no matter what they cost.

Beats me, my paint cost a lot but everyone who sees it thinks it's
great. The paint work was fucking spectacular and it's held up great,
too. a LOT better than some jobs I've seen where it's bubbling or shit
like that....
