  • Custom Paint

    I have an 82 Maxim and would like to have the tank repainted black with flames. Has anyone had custom paint done that they can recommend. Also, does anyone know about how much something like that will cost, $100's or $1000's? Thanks.

    Flames

    Well your in the right ballpark. $100's to $1,000's.Thats just depending on the kind of job you want done.!00 or 1,000.Many different qualitys out there.Cheap paint cheap flames 100. You get the point.

        Hey Big Block

        I see you've finally figured out how to post a pic!! Your bike looks pretty good. When I finish with the engine work on Twilite Special, I'm gonna try to figure it out also.

              Hey Buff how about a pic of yours? I think chevys is great , he didnt say he was done. My XJ was a rat compared to his, but i still loved running the hell out of it.Send us a pic so we can admire your handy work.....................MITCH

                          Daryl, I'm with Daniel, great effort. Shows a lot of attention to detail. Was it a looong winter down your way. Looks like you put it to good use with extra TLC.
