FAQ’S

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can you match my original Harley-Davidson paint color?

Yes. We specialize in factory Harley-Davidson color matching. Many factory finishes contain metallics, pearls, candies, and multiple layers that require experience to duplicate accurately. Our goal is to make repaired or replacement parts blend seamlessly with the original motorcycle.

2. Can damaged motorcycle fairings be repaired instead of replaced?

In many cases, yes. Cracks, broken tabs, scratches, and minor damage to plastic or fiberglass fairings can often be repaired, saving you money while maintaining the original fit and appearance of your motorcycle.

Yes. In addition to motorcycles, we provide paint, body, fabrication, and repair services for classic cars and automotive projects. We understand the attention to detail required when working on restoration and specialty vehicles.

4. Can you repair fiberglass, plastic, and metal parts?

Absolutely. We repair and restore metal, fiberglass, and plastic components for motorcycles and automobiles, allowing many damaged parts to be saved instead of replaced.
