Have you ever had something done and the vendor went way beyond your expectations?
BlueBelle is my custom painted ST1100 that I bought and it has an 'interesting' black/blue metal flake color on certain parts.
I contacted Mike North at North Customs over in Murfreesboro, TN to see if he would be interested in painting some parts for me.
I visited with him back in November and he looked over what I needed and said he could get to it toward the end of January.
I got a call on February 7th telling me he had them done.
I had 4 saddlebag lids, 6 mirror covers and 6 mirror spacers painted.
When a ST1100 tips over, it usually takes out the saddlebag lids and the mirror covers so I wanted some matching spares.
They absolutely match a very difficult color and look better than a lot of factory paint jobs that I have seen.
He also said he was sorry that he was a couple days late on getting them done.
He is not inexpensive and has pretty good backlog of work but his quality is well worth the wait and the expense.
Finding somebody that would even consider painting motorcycle parts nowadays is a real challenge but that is what he does.
He has tons of motorcycle show awards from his work - normally all on V-Twin stuff.
But he is fine with painting 'metric' bodywork as he calls it.
So I can happily give him the 'Uncle Phil Good Seal Of Approval' if you need some parts painted.

It's hard to see the quality in the pictures but here they are -
