when my wife got her sportster she found a paint job she really liked in the back of the harley book. here are some pics.
for the money depending on how custom you want your custom paint job to be http://www.pairadicepaint.com/ has some great looking paint jobs.

 

I had mine done locally by a guy after seeing some of his work. I took my tank and fenders to him to save time and money, but he would have taken the whole bike and disassembled for an extra fee (and time). If I had to do it over, I'd check one of these places mentioned that already had painted sets and do a swap. I've seen some really good deals over the past year or so on pre painted sets that are just waiting to be installed.

By the way, I had my Sporty custom flamed and my SuperGlide wears its factory Vivid Black.

 

I had mine done from a guy out of Florida Attitude custom painting, great service, job was outstanding, shipped right to my door
