I'd have to agree with Smittie on this.
I worked in a bike shop, not a big name dealership, but a small shop that we did mostly tune-ups, repairs, replacement,
troubleshooting and repairs, custom seats, and yes...lots of custom painting.
The hardest part and most costly and labor instensive of doing a custom paint job is the sanding of the bike.
I would not suggest letting the shop or custom painter the OP chooses to do the paint AND sanding.
I'd do the sanding myself.
Take the plastic off the bike, easy work, but at a shop will cost you at least 1-2 hours "labor".
Take the plastic bodywork and have the painter guy just paint the parts whatever and however you want.
One color, two tone, flames and glitter...whatever you finally decide.
This will be less costly, and even though you have sanded the bike pre-shop, the painter might have to do some touch up sanding
prior and or during the painting and of course during the clear coat process.
In short, do the labor intensive stuff yourself...and let a pro do the paint.
