What does UFO get dollar wise to paint a complete set ? That paint work looks super nice, I've heard they do Grade A work

I checked pricing with UFO and he quoted me $1,700 not including shipping. :crazy: Also could take up to 6 months he said. Sooo....I purchased the paint from UFO and had it shipped here to California. My painter charged me $500.00 for minor metal work and spraying the parts. He also applied the stickers prior to clear coat.

Don't get me wrong UFO is top shelf. But as you can see others on the site have painted there own bikes while matching UFO's $1,700 price tag quality for a fraction of the price. I guess for the love of H-2's perfection is a must.

Any one have a picture one of Brian H blue tanks. I like the early pale blue, the modern HOC is nice also. But to me nothing llike the original.

There was a gentleman out in Santa Rosa that used to be cheaper and he airbrushed the lettering and stripes on. I don't know how much Brian h charges but his stuff is top notch and he is a member here as I would rather give it to a member which I will be doing soon. I can get a whole car painted and then some here for that price. and that $1700 doesn't include any body work including small dings from what they told me. :thumbdown:
