Would I be Breaking a rule or be rude if I were to ask the cost of the paint job?

Oh no - 'course not breaking a rule or rude! It was $5,255.55! (Yes, I'm a crazy woman - but I REALLY wanted this color.) Then I spent about $250 in addition to that on gromets and other miscellaneous pieces that needed to be replaced after disassembly. To break it down further, $1700 was the disassembly/reassembly cost (a fellow Spyder Ryder did this part because the paint shop was nervous about that and he was familiar with the bike), $2300 on paint/overcoat/materials - as in my previous post - this paint was expensive. It took 3 quarts of Kandy Radiance (Oh so Sexy), 3 quarts of Starfire (I think this was the small metallic flake), 1 gallon clear coat, 1 pint hardner, 2 gallon reducer. It was a total of 6 coats. No wet sanding on any of the coats. Baked at 140 degrees. The remainder was the labor on the paint job. The process took about 2 months. By the way, the price included disassembly/reassembly and painting of the trailer. In addition to the price I bought about $1,000 worth of new stuff for the trailer - like new tires, hubcaps, mud flaps, bra for front and ice chest.

Now I have to save for the chrome!
