Custom Paint

Custom Paint
I am coming up on the first birthday of my bike. I purchased an 05 standard under the idea that I could modify and upgrade to exactly what I wanted. I have added seat, exhaust (V&H Big Radius), windshield, and some chrome. Now I am at a point were I am thinking about a custom paint job. The bike is Chopper Blue which is a color that I am fond of. This provides me the luxury of finding the right type of paint job and most of all the right person. Can anyone share a ballpark price for a custom paint job? What should I be looking for beyond the sample pictures at a paint shop? Are there any specific brands of paint that are better than others for durability? Any ideas or feedback would be helpful.
If anyone has a shop in the DC, MD, VA area they would recommend please do.

Give this guy a call, he is in Boonsboro,MD just north of Frederick,MD. You can check out his work at Patriot HD in Fairfax,VA they have him do custom paint jobs on new bikes and then sell them as a custom. From what I've seen he does pretty nice work and I am thinking of having him do my 04'Fatboy.

I agree with this guy. My local dealer carries there stuff and it is sick. You can also look on ebay and find some of the HD Radical paint schemes for pretty cheap. I got mine for a good price on there and have since seen my paint set sell for alot less than I paid.
