    I'm looking for any/all suggestions of painters who can do good work
    on motorcycles. I'm thinking seriously of having the Hurricane re-
    painted with a custom paint job. I'd probably go with something
    similar to the Blackbird or maybe even a chameleon(sp?) scheme.

    Anyone have any suggestions on a painter or shop?

    Dallas Honda, several years ago, would receive new
    bikes and ship them off for custom painting/chroming,
    etc.

    They really looked nice, and were priced very nice also.
    But, I asked about the painter/customizer, and this is what
    I was given.

    "I checked the property tax records, and he still shows
    to be there".

    Actually, I was given his name, I had to dig up all the
    other stuff, because I visited him about some work on
    my Valkyrie. It's long story, but we never came to
    terms. But, I'd suggest you at least contact him.

    But.... as expected, his work is very very good, from
    what I saw. Commensurately speaking, so is his charge.

    Those custom bikes he did for Lamb were mostly Valk-
    yries, and they looked damn good. He bobbed fenders,
    custom painted, and molded dome body parts/tanks.

    I don't think Lamb does that stuff anymore, but I'm sure
    you could talk to him about the work. Additionally, Greg
    probably has done some other more recent work that you
    could view, somewhere.

    Personally, I don't think that custom painting the Hurri-
    cane is a financially advantageous proposition. But, that
    is your decision.
