pro painters on the site?
#1

Any pro painters on the site? If so, would you consider shooting member side covers from the grey to the red? I know paint doesn't keep for all that long and the Honda red is kind of pricey so it would make sense if a number of folks could have their side covers shot at the same time. If there is no one on the site who can do this job, I will check locally and see if I can work some sort of deal if the painter does... say 6 sets or something along those lines. I do think you can buy ColorRite in pretty small quantities. Is anyone interested? No, I can't say how long the covers will be gone and no I am not thinking of anyone in particular... just tossing out an idea. And no, I am not interested in painting them black or keeping them as they are even if you love the look... if the former two options are what you are going to suggest, well this thread is just for finding out if folks are interested in going from grey to Honda red paint (or ColorRite).

I just had my headlight & gauge covers painted the correct red by Brent Budgor in Vermont. He does excellent restoration paint on bikes. Contact him at : Brent@vintage-vendor.com.
Great guy. Reasonable prices & quick turnaround. Rocket

Not sure how much prepping and reshooting the sidecovers would cost, but an alternative are the Force Design covers from Samurider.com They're built a bit sturdier than stock and painted in Honda colors. Looks like they're about $180 + shipping. If you want to get fancier (like I did) they can even duplicate the black/silver tank stripe on the side cover.
