How much will a custom paint job cost?
I have the black and titanium color scheme on my bike but I have been thinking of going with the custom black fading into charcoal or titanium color scheme . Just wondering how much it was going to cost.

such a general question.. depends on what kinda paint job you want.. who you bring it to.. what colors/design, paint/coats.. custom work.. like a 100 factors.. go to some places and ask around.. but for all plastics with a pretty basic theme about 1000 or less

Custom paint = Bullseye on your bike. The nicer the paint the bigger the target...[sm=happybounce.gif]....Sooner or later the plastic will take a hit. Don't spend any more than you are O.K. with seeing go away. ::::::Sport Bike....[sm=badbadbad.gif]...Not Busa.[sm=icon_blah.gif]

Look dude I had my bike painted 2 times. The first time I spent 650 and that was black wit a red snake skin pattern. Then I dropped the bike and I was pretty sick.....Got it repainted again and it cost me 800 for the paint job that you see in my siggy. Bobjoe said it correct, there are many factors.

Hey Mera954and pimpncbr954s, when you guys got your bikes painted did you take the whole bike to the paint shop or just take all of the parts to the shop? I would imagine the paint job would cost less if all of theparts that needed paintwere removed from the bike.

Hey Moto i took my whole bike because i got it stretched and lowered and got the wheels done (could have done it myself but im deployed right now) at the same time. If i were to have taken just the plastic i would have saved like 50 bucks.
