Every since seeing a Black Denim 2010 Road Glide I keep thinking I would like mine to be that color. I have a Red Hot Sunglo 09 and like the color and opted to not go with Vivid Black for a change as many of my bikes in the past were Vivid Black. If Denim were an option in 09 I think I would have looked for one but it wasnt so here I am wanting. Question is what should I expect to pay to have the bike stripped, painted and re-assembled? Anyone done that with a Road Glide. I am in NH and have dropped the bike off yesterday for Winter Storage at the dealership because it was such a great deal. Virtually free after the cost of the free service they provide. I don't want any custom graphics/stripes etc just the black denim paint. If anyone has done that or is familiar with the costs associated I would appreciate it. I did ask the dealer to get me a quote but want a comparison.

Thanks

 

Denim black looks good when new, but after a few years what would the finish look like?

 

I will look the same.

 

Where in NH? I'd suggest talking to Dale Flewelling at Art Attack Designs in Newport, NH. He did all my painting and he does awesome work. I'd also consider keeping/swapping your parts or trading them.

 

A guesstimate would be $1500-$2000. With some time, an HD Service Manual, and decent set of mechanics tools, you could comfortably disassemble and reassemble the bike yourself.

Also, consider: (1) having the rivets removed from the front fender (about $100) or replacing it with a 2010 CVO Street Glide fender or aftermarket fender; (2) painting the inner fairing and cap; (3) adding the Street Glide/FLTR Custom rear fender fascia/LED; and, (4) replacing the chrome saddlebag latches with color-matched latches.

Good luck with your project.

Edit: My repaint cost about $1,300 (approx. $450 was paint, reducer, etc.) with tri-coat, PPG DBC paint, two tour paks, inner fairing, fairing lowers, bag latches, and some other small parts in addition to a normal EG parts.

 

I'm VERY interested in this thread. I have an 07 RG Orange, that I'm looking changing over to a Black Cheery or something. like that. Is it regular auto paint that's used? Any comments on the new paint being less durable than the original ? Not looking at any fancy graphics, just painting it a darker color, (something like the black cherry I've seen on some. Any comments/opinions greatly appreciated. Thanks

Subscribing as well because i would love to have my Darl Blue Pearl painted a White Pearl. Would love the frame painted as well but not sure I would be comfortable stripping everything off the frame.

 

Big fukn job buddy.
