I'm lining up some mods for the winter. This includes painting some body parts and my local guy is not in business anymore. I know that several here have had some good work done and I'm hoping you have some recommendations. Thanks - Gene
the dmf has it's own ducpainter :)
Frosty's Finishes (http://www.frostysfinishes.com/)
i had my lower cowl painted by him a couple of years ago,
and the finish was nicer than the factory's.
I'm looking for a paint job this winter also. Does anyone have knowledge about automotive wrapping vs. painting? My sister is getting into that and said she'd do my bike.

So are frostyfinshes and ducpainter the same person, or is that two separate suggestions?

Same person. Frosty's Finishes is Nate's (AKA ducpainter on here) shop.
Frosty's = ;D

If the bike in your avatar is what you've got, do not wrap it. If you do warp it, when you remove the wrap, it's very likely the stripe will come off with the wrap.

Wrapping's big stickers basically.
Ducpainter did Tim and Charlies Monsters if you want to look at some of is work first hand.

And there's that shop that sponsored TOB - they did a repaint on Tims Mules tank, before Tim bought it. Tim thought the work was top notch, since he didn't even notice the fix until after he spotted his tank on thier website as an example of their work. Too bad I can't remember their freakin' name.
ducpainter did my monster tank and his quality is far better than the stock junx. Too bad, I am not to be trusted with pristine paint.
You can purchase his work here. http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=10681.0
been up to Nate's shop and seen his work. I'd vouch for him as a person and his work looks great.
as another admin for the DMF I also deal with him everyday.
There are very few people on whose reputation I risk my reputation. He's one.

what kind of paint work were you looking at getting? stock colors or something a little more unique?

I wasn't planning on ever being able to return to the original paint job (it's got some rash on it). I was considering the wrap as a permanent change.
Anyone got a phone number for Nate (Ducpainter)?
Thanx,
Drop him a PM or e-mail.
http://www.frostysfinishes.com/ (http://www.frostysfinishes.com/) - doesn't list a phone number though.
Trouble - aren't you a painter too?

Thanx,
The 'cantact me' section on his website works best for him (or a PM here actually). I can PM anyone who wants his phone number (I just talked to him about it). Let me know.
Thanks, all. I got him through a PM on the DML board and we spoke today.
