Birmingham, AL 08 MC Tour Premium 2012 Bronze Mist | I bought the paint from Freedom Powersports in Kennasaw, GA. Good folks. $99 for a quart of paint and a pint of activator. |

Ruskin, Fl | Looks great! Mine is black and I plan on doing the same. I also want to powder coat the rear tip over parts. If you don't mind me asking, who did the paint and how much $? |

Birmingham, AL 08 MC Tour Premium 2012 Bronze Mist | I went to a local, well regarded body shop and asked them to do it for me. They said no. They did however refer me to a guy that's a factory paint rep who enjoys painting bikes. I took all the parts off and gave them to him on a Friday afternoon, he painted them over the weekend and returned them Monday morning. $200 labor cost and I'm a happy camper. |

Woodland Hills, CA | Beautiful!!! I did the same thing to mine, but mine is black. I did include the tip overs and handles, as well as the dash around the gauges. I also tinted the front turn signal lenses. Its in the gallery if you are curious. In truth, I really thought of buying the cherry and doing the same thing, but my dealer only had the black, so I opted for that instead of waiting. So my hats off to you!!

Montreal, QC Canada | Taking off the handles is my next job. Was told by dealer to take off trunk, remove molding around lights and you can access the rear bolts. The front ones are visible inside the storage area.
Chrome is now available for the rear tip overs. Thats the way I will go.
