Hello, I'm looking to find someone who does great factory-like paint jobs.  It's for my 1983 R80.  I live in Montana so I know I'm going to have to travel some to get it done. Can anyone recommend a good place?  Also, what  should I expect to pay for an excellent job?  Thanks.

Peter, I'm just down I-25 in Casper and had some done here at S & L Classics.

Be prepared, though! I did a Kawasaki S2 about 2 years ago and it was about $750. I just did my RD350 and it nearly doubled. Both were just factory colors but they matched them.

Paint costs have gone crazy, but it was worth it for the quality.

@rider17 Thanks John.  I looked up their website and I'll keep them in mind if I don't find anything else.

While you cast around for your painter, I highly suggest you consider doing your tank's interior coating now, Before the painting starts. Some of those coatings are extremely messy, and doing a just-painted tank can be very stressful. 

Owning an old Airhead is easy.
Keeping an old Airhead running great is the true test.
