When I needed a rec for a paint shop, I asked the board and got a rec for Blair Graphics in Austin. http://www.blairgraphix.com/index.htm
Just picked up the freshly painted, decaled and stripped fairing to my 1986 Honda VF1000R, done up in the Rothmans colors per Honda.
The paint is not good, its great. Stripes are EXACTLY per the pics, decals exactly where shown, all done 1st class. He even took on a few minor repairs (a little dent, a few cracks).
For a 21 year old superbike, its looks showroom new.
Oh, and he is VERY reasonable. No, he's not fast, but he is meticulous.
Four stars from me.:clap:

There are 3 ways you can have it: Cheap, Fast or Good. You can have 2 out of the 3 but not all three. ;-)
Sorry, your statement made me think of that saying.

For price quotes, go to his website or call him.
My paint job price was based on my colors, difficulty, and options. But it was still better than the commercial houses, by far.

Colorworks in Keller.
We had a member get his Sprint ST painted up all yeller and stuff by them.
Turned out most excellent.
I've seen some of their work on some ducati fairings from a wreck repair that looked like glass they were so smooth.

Colorworks in Keller.
They repainted the wife's scooter after she was rear ended. Very good job but it took quite a while... :doh:
