If I decide to get the paint job through him I won't have the bike back for another 4-5 weeks.

*is tired of waiting... its been over 10 months now*

Anyway... yeah.

I'm leaning towards the shiney black.

get your rims powder coated, ask fish slyer. dont paint your rims and $700 is not a bad price.

I think the previous owner of my bike had it painted a gloss/semi-gloss black with blue decals. This might give you a idea on how your bike would look.
