I want to have my motorcycle re-painted, and wondered if anyone knew of a shop that paints bikes. I’m still finding my way around here, so any suggestions would be welcomed.

If you are willing to disassemble your bike yourself, Custom Paint & Body in Petal is probably your best bet. They are located behind Hays Printing Co. at 132 W. Cherry Dr., Ask for Billy Tisdale.
Motorcycles usually have a certain amount of disassembly befor ethey can be painted, for this reason most pain places don't like to deal with them. If you want to pay for it I think A & B Cyles in Petal just over the bridge will do the dis assembly for you. I've used them literally for decades, they are a little slow, but they do good work at a reasonable price. Also, at A & B ask for Allen, he may be able to recommend a place that paints bikes.
Hope this info helps.

It's not hard pulling the cans off. I'd planned on doing that anyway, figured it'd cut the cost. A friend of mine had told me about A&B, I'm looking to add new air kit and will need the carb rejetted was going to let them do it. You think they do some good work Ford?

They can be a little slow, but I've never been disappointed with the quality of their work. I've taken all my bikes there since the 80's.

I second that motion Ford, Allen at A&B is nice to deal with and has always done good work.
