Paint job on my 09

I'm thinking about painting my '09 yellow with some black "crab claw-type" flames.  My bike is an 09 and has perfect paint but those stickers are dog ugly.  Whatcha ppl think?  And I'm not talking some bubba with a rattle can crap. I have a shop and a compressor, nice HVLP gun etc.  This would be a quality bc/cc job.

I think I'm offended by the rattle can comment.  :flipoff:
Paint whatever crap you want. It's your bike and remember to take pics.  :thumb:

I think if you're the one with the shop and the compressor you'd be a better judge that most people. Flames typically don't appeal to me, but you're the one riding it. I only mention it because you asked for opinions. New paint jobs are always good though. You should take plenty of pictures of the process though. People here are always asking about painting their bike. BaltimoreGS did a great writeup on his paint job over winter, but it's always nice to see what other people come up with too.

I kinda like my rattle can job. Took my time, good prep, quality materials, and lots of compliments.

So...If I decide to ditch the front fairing, does anyone wanna give me $250 for it?  In perfect shape off an '09 w/2000 miles.
