I have had nothing but problems with Paul Miller and have read a lot of bad reviews about KNK, was about to send him my X6 bodywork anyone know someone here who is honest? I have sevreal bikes that need paint.
I would have thought there'd be tons of good painters in California.

The EPA. EDD and the SBOE has driven all the quality and fair painters out of the state. It's also hard to get some paints in CA because of all the enviromental regulations. Most of the quality and competative ones are in the LA area. I'm in norcal, land of the hippies and nerds
Paul Miller sells painted sets (tanks & side covers etc) on eBay and based on the accompanying blurb they sound quite good. Has anyone bought any of his painted stuff and if so can they tell me what the quality is like?
I purchased and PM tank and cover set about a month ago off ebay. Quality was good. It was the proper candy color, clear coated, with nice shine, no runs, etc. Looks professional to me. Only issue was he beadblasts the tanks inside and out before painting, and the inside was still full of residual blast material. Has to be shaken and rinsed out real good before putting fuel to it.

Thanks! That's the sort of feedback I needed to hear. I asked PM when they were going to make a colour combination that I was after and it is supposed to be next month.
Do you know if the side cover is a reproduction or an original?
