Actually I've been asking locally, but sounds like you'll probably know... I've got the Volusia in my sig. It's black and white, black metallic paint with a cream metallic strip on top of the fender. http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=4256456 You can't see the back fender there because of the saddle bags. but that's the problem, the previous owner decided he didn't need saddlebag supports to keep the leather bags off of the fender... Turns out he was wrong. I've got quite a lot of rubbing back there where the bags used to hit (I've since put on supports). Do you know what paint is needed to paint that? It's rubbed all the way through, in that even a part of the plastic is being rubbed through. Any ideas on what it should cost? I'm trying to get it painted before I sell it or trade it or anything, plus I want it to look good when I ride without the bags, you know?
