Hey guys/gals, I plan on having my tank (it's pearl white now) re-painted and wanted to know who you guys have used and how much did it run you? The tank I have now has a few scratches that I would like to get fixed and a new coat of paint might be just what's needed. Thanks!  |

I emailed him, got an initial response, I followed up twice after that and never heard back from him hence my post. I'm sure Nate does great work but there's got to be other places/people to get stuff painted. Thanks! |

Your tank...is worth money to some people who want an OEM white tank. Why dont you sell it and buy a crashed tank to paint? I'd feel bad about painting over such a nice white tank!

I don't want to change the color, I want to have it re-painted in Pearl White once again and in the process remove some of the minor scratches the tank has now  |

Have you tried to use plastic polish? or a rubbing compound? I have THOUSANDS of small scratches all over my tank, xpt its black, so you can see them all. |

Try using the yellow pages... Locally is easy and there are no shipping costs either...
Mine cost $300.00 to go from red to satin black...

Sounds like I messed up. It happens, but I sincerely apologize. Nate edit: out of curiosity... did you use my business email or the one listed in my profile? |

No worries man I used the email in your profile: painter @ metro... I used to stick to a hard and fast rule to keep all my business on my business mail. It's easier to keep track. I didn't do that this time. It won't happen again. Again I apologize for not following through. Nate |

bad Nate! no... poptart? cheese whiz? caviar? seriously... I took my bike out for a test ride after installing yet another new headlight and the looks I got were hilarious. Folks need to learn to watch the road and not the beautiful motorcycle waiting to enter traffic. One after another head stuck on my ride- drivers/passengers- even kids and babies! Can't thank Nate enough for that. Where were you when I was single!? ... err- that didn't come out quite the way I meant it to.  [moto] |
