Found this guy on ebay. Ship him your inner fairing and he will paint it to match the color of your bike for $275.00 + shipping. Has anyone used him? Is the price a good deal? What can you expect to pay at a auto body shop?

i paint inner fairings for the local dealer upon request for $200.00 providing its a sand and shoot if they want the mirror holes plugged $275.00 plus materials which another $75.00. if its a candy color from harley $300.00 plus materials when its a sunglow color its candy. i just painted my sedona orange roadglide firemist orange cuz the new harely colors are top secreat and if u buy them they single stage acrylic urethane u can spray clear over it but it matches for ****. so rather then deal with harleys newer colors i changed mine. sedona orange is now avalible but it was a field match meaning a paint rep went out and tried mixing the forumula his self it is for overall use and its dirtier then the prime color. sorry for the book just though i would explain it to ya.

the option he offers for a new fairng is he buys them direct from harley and he can cuz he has a paint shop so gets them for his cost and marks them up. like most shops do anyway. so the fairings he buys from harley you can buy from harley on batwing fairings only roadglides are more. good luck to ya.

 

Your red hot sunglo will cost $275 plus $70 since it's a tri-stage color. That's $345 compared to paying $440 or so from a 20% off dealer for the HD color-matched batwing fairing/fairing cap. You can sell your take-off parts for $100 or so if you buy the new parts from HD. So, I'd suggest buying the new parts from HD and selling your take-offs.

One small "issue" I have with HD's offering (and it's true of the ebay listing as well) is that the small, black plastic bezel around the idiot lights/turn signal indicators, is not included so you re-use the unpainted black plastic piece. Heck, even the CVO bikes with color-matched inner fairings/caps don't have a color-matched bezel. Which is why so many painted inner fairings use the chrome trim piece accessory HD sells.

A benefit of having a local painter shoot the inner fairing and cap is to include the bezel--much nicer than either leaving it unpainted or covering it with the chrome trim piece IMO.

Good luck with your project.

I paid my local body shop $200 to paint my inner fairing. A friend of mine has a pearl H-D color and he paid $75 more.

 

Ya and you can figure another $100 in shipping. I just spent $49 X2 sending my seat to get it reworked. It's not the weight but the size of the box that kills the deal.

 

Just ordered inner fairing 20% dealer plus some chrome cash pd $399 shipped, still have my original to sell.
