paint job???

I recently bought a 1999 Sportster Hugger. It not much of a Sportster Hugger with the 1600cc S&S engine and many other upgrades so I want to change up the paint job. As of now its all black but you can see that the paint is showing its age. The tank and sport Bob fender have been repainted black but its clear that it was not done by a professional. With the S&S engine being a gas hog and the sportster only having just over a 3gal tank I am replacing it with a 4.5 so I can travel further than 80mi on a tank. The new tank needs to be painted so i figured why not just have the entire bike painted. What would a reasonable price be to have the bike repainted black? How much of a difference would there be if the bike was already disassembled...???

I am about 80 miles from you +/-
here I do a single color job (just paint, no bodywork) for $500 +/- depending on color
that is if you bring the tins, if you bring the bike, add another $150 to $200
