I've called a bunch of shops for quotes, but not sure if the places are good or not. If anyone has good or bad experiences with a shop that does motorcycle paint please let me know. Seems like the best place (quality/price) is Chipmagic, but the owner was a bit rude when I asked him how the quoted price was generated (labor/parts cost).

I've also been suggested to buy a new tank and sand/prime the old and sell it, or something of the sort.

Thanks.

PV Motorsports is supposed to do a solid job. I think he does a few of the MRA bikes?

Is there something I should do to the spot if I don't want to get it painted asap? Specific advice would help.

Thanks.

+1 for chip magic. Bought a used, beat up seat cowl and the guys fixed it up quick and got it looking great. Price was reasonable, service was quick

clean off the bubbled paint and just primer shoot it "spray can" not much will happen if you dont do anything primer will just help fight rust,

had a friend get the same problem we just scratched back the paint to the point it wasn't pealing and then just taped off primed it with spray paint and stuck a vinyl wrap over the top

How much are you getting quoted by the shops?

[Vellos]

$300-$500

Premier Collision. Ryan is the owner. I've had my bike in there three times and I've been very pleased with the work and the price. He's located right across from Faster MotorSports on Brighton Ave. Three oh three two nine six three oh three one.

is that from gas??

if you dont want to paint it right away, i would peel the bad part off, tape it off, and clear coat the bare metal. go to a sign shop and get a couple square feet of 3M black vinyl, lay it on then cut maybe around the top contour of the tank or any shape that makes sense with excacto knife.

or measure the bad spot at its widest diameter and have the sign shop cut you a round piece that diameter. then just cut around gas cap with less chance of causing anymore scratches.
