    Hi OEM and good luck with your new venture.
    BTW, paint must cost less where you are to quote $100 for a paint job.
    Saskatoon retail price for a 1 pint can of single color pigment is $80 with hardener and extender extra.

      Cost

      You are right, I was thinking / trying to do a service for members at, or even below my cost, not trying to make any money off members at all, in fact, I would lose money (with overhead) even on a Special. I Didn't mean that $ for Standarads as I was just thinking how it is hard to find the right "ONE", color / flake combo for OEM lovers I hate to say, but with the extra standards, colors / steps and strips, I dont know yet what my cost would be, I would help any at cost on a one to one case after knowing what they needed. Anyway, not trying to make a buck, doing fine at my shop, this will be a PIA at cost just to help members, maybe a bad idea after all, but want to help if I can

          I also am not interested in OEM paint for mine. I am looking to get custom paint done in 2 part in the same color changing type paint (and same colors) as I currently have but so that it's gas resistant and a first class job, and I have more parts that need paint than tank and side covers (trunk lid and sides, saddlebag lids and fairing. But with that I would be interested if it was something you might be able to do, of course shipping the stuff both ways might be an issue as well, but greyhound might work for that.
