Default Attention! New paint job for $500

Hello guys,
I am getting my 95 f3 painted by a local shop in Lynnwood Washington here. The shop is pretty much painting the whole bike fairings and little bit of metal for $500 (Tank cover too) and fixing little cracks. Please let me know if its a good deal? should i go for it or can i find something cheaper than $500. At first I was thinking of buying those hongkong repsol fairings but then I dont trust anybody outside the country so now i decided i will get my baby painted. Any ideas?

thats definetly a good deal IF AND ONLY IF its a good paint job that'll last.

i got a paint job for $300 at maaco but i got super lucky because not all maaco shops are good quality but the one i found was good quality. but yeah $500 is a great deal IF its a good job

If you're getting all 11 pieces painted and repaired I'd say that's an excellent price. The preparation is the most expensive part of painting the bikes because there are so many small pieces and they're loose.

Are you goning with a custom job, or factory colors. If factory colors, then you can put original decals back on and make the bike look like brand new.
