Your pricing is as bad as the medical industry. $600 bucks for at most two hours labor since all you have to do is spray it. You can get a whole car or truck painted for a couple grand.

Price variation is CRAZY. I had my entire bike painted - fender, tank, oil bags for $1500 by Backstreet Buckets, and the paint wins me trophies. - pics below. Look him up and ask Scott what he'd charge for a tank. It'd have to be shipped but that's easy as pie.

talk to cory at colormania paint....http://www.colormaniapaint.com/

they are a site sponsor and their work is excellent. they are doing my 200 tire fender right now.....3 stage yellow pearl....cant wait.

dont shop by price...shop by quality and knowledge....if it is a business then you will pair a fair price for a quality job. if it is a guy painting in his house then it should be cheaper for lack of overhead for a shop etc....but...quality may also be less if the proper equipment is not there.

my tattoo artist has a sign : "good work is not cheap and cheap work is not good"
