Harley Paint Jobs
#21
my bike isnt a cvo but a limited custom paint set. I've gotten mixed info from different dealers but i'm fairly confident in the info i got from my parts guy that these custom paint sets are designed but actually not painted by harley. They use a contracted paint shop which are locked down very tight with legal non-disclosure agreements. I'm not sure if this is the case with their cvo paint sets. I can tell you that the quality at least on my bike is top notch, no orange peel, sags, etc. It is damn near flawless and i think whomever painted it did a great job!

My friend just traded his 06 CVO for 17K. The bike had 60K miles on it. Can't explain it.

Look at it this way, there good deals and not so goo deals made everyday. Someone may score big on a used CVO and the next poor sap pays way too much. As far as good deals go, it ALSO depends on which side of the table you're sitting.
I'm just saying a CVO TYPICALLY has better resale value than a non-CVO.

you can definitely tell the difference between a mass production paint job done by the factory and the paint sets done by GunSlinger. My 16 CVO SG is damn near perfect.

IIRC, GunSlinger and one other company did some contract work for the MoCo.
On a side note:
My sled for the CVOs in 2009 (and any other year) was one of the least produced color schemes. 519 Total world wide and only 369 for the US.
I'm stoked, because not everyone can handle the "FASTEST COLOR!"

As to the OP my take on the CVO paint decisions is that you have to take into account you have a group of folks making a decision that they think will appeal to a wide range of folks. Some folks will like it some wont, no different than the decisions for which colors to use on each model every year.
