    Shop recommendation to paint a scooter?

    One of the students in my last class asked for a recommendation on a place to bring her scooter to have it painted. I saw grim wrote a positive review for, and recommended Chip Magic last year. Does anybody have anything else good or bad to say about them (other than mdub saying they're expensive)?

    Is there anybody else you'd recommend?

    Here's her situation:
    - The scooter is a 2006 Yamaha Majesty.
    - It's grey now and she wants it sparkly (metallic?) pink/purple (fuscia?) blend color.
    - She lives in Centennial and doesn't want to travel further than Boulder to the North (& equivalent distance in all other directions).
    - She will be dropping off the scooter and would like them to disassemble it.
    - She expects at least a Maaco quality paint job, but isn't sure how much that's going to cost (she's hoping it'll come in around $500 or less).

    Thanks in advance.

    Chip Magic was very helpful when I went by and they took the time to come out and check out my car and explain the situation. I never got any work done by them (never fixed the paint cuz I am cheap), but saw some of their work when I was there and was very good. They seemed very concered with the quality of their work. I'd recommend them!

    hey zach think i could get that number? i had everything set for a drop off today, then he said since he had a kid last week he needed another day, so i say no problem i have kids and i understand. then 4 hrs later he emails me and says he is at least two weeks behind and is going to pass on my stuff unless i wanted to wait. this happened before in oct, i had everything set up and then day of he had to have some back surgery. i know that things happen but really? I was trying to stick with this guy since he is a prior military guy, but WTF.
