Where are you at? I can think of a number of painters/restorers around the country capable of helping you out. The difference in shipping cost on three frames could add up pretty fast though...................

I do a basic $150 paint job, and that is the rate for a one color with clearcoat, no decals straight simple paint job. I can bid some additional services as easily, but full restoration can be more complicated. I don't think it's fair to expect any professional to bid that sort of work sight unseen, unless you're willing to go with a bid of time plus materials.
