    My friend trashed the paint on his SV 650's gas tank and wants to get it repainted. Anybody have a suggestion about where to get this done inexpensively near Minneapolis?

    Oh, I thought you were asking if Scarecrow was the aforementioned friend. Just a plain single color.

    It was left upside down in a puddle of gasoline, so the paint on the top is all eaten away. No dents.
