Well, after calling around the best I got on a all white (not Pearl) paint job was 700 if I stripped the bike down, brought the parts in, and put them back on myself. Thats the way i would want it but I still think thats a little high? Anyone ever go through a Vocational School? I heard they do good work and you only pay for materials?

That being said and considering I've painted my share of F4i's *done 2 already* I would do the faring kit from China next time becuase it makes it look super clean instantly and then you are done no more work needed.

I've spent well over 6k on my f4i doing one more part after another after spending around 2-3k on paint alone not including the power coating


and for what it's worth my painter charges 900 for a solid color but he does a super good job too. You get what you pay for in the world of paint. Save yourself the headache and get yourself the Repsol Not only does it stand out more and is more rare, but all white bike you'll get tired of washing and it wont even look as cool as the Repsol IMO
