Default Custom Paint Jobs!?

Hello guys, I was wondering if anyone has seen any cool custom paint jobs on any motorcycle which could fit onto the F4i's fairings because i'm really considering a custom paint job. If anyone has any pictures, post 'em up here.

Also how much do these paint jobs cost for a respray on all the fairings, anyone know a price bracket like from £££ all the way up to £££???

Ive googled some pictures of motorcycles but mostly get crusers and custom choppers with skulls and stuff, which i'm not really into.

And ideas would be cool, and greatly appriciated. Cheers, Tom.

I just went on google images and typed in 'f4i custom paint' and found a bunch, some looked pretty good. I know there are a few f4i's on here with custom paint jobs if any of them want to chime in. Mine used to have one but it was just a basic black and gray two tone. Are you looking for like designs and graphics to be painted on or something basic? The more complicated the paint job the more its gonna cost obviously along with the type of paint and such that is used.

If you have seen my bike I'm in the same boat, I was thinking of getting new left and right fairing but think i might just wrap my bike try to google wraps, skinz or do what I was thinking and wrap it with this 3m carbon, I think it looks sick! But if you wrap it send me your left and right fairing

there are no limits to what you can do. all the chrome and big wheels can't compare to a custom paint job and i've got the trophies to prove it. i just picked up a blackbird this month and i can guarantee you it's gonna be hott. just do something you've never seen.watch out shows this summer for both the hondas. lol it should be ready by time transformers 3 comes out . if you need a painter hit me up

Thanks all, and thanks to mralbdamminc. I do have a custom paint shop which just spcializes in bikes, so I may have to send them an email after I do some drawings of ideas. I really want something different but not too over the top.

All this said it may have to wait a while anyways until I can get money to do the respray.

How much do resprays cost now anyways because I know this shop near me charges £750 for a full respray on a full fairing bike and thats just to re-paint the standard colour scheme, but they do take off all stickers and use paint instead.

So I may have to do a little research on this subject....

The possibilities are endless......

I'm about to do the same. Which paint system/type did you use?
