well i met my mom at the body shop after her accident and i took my bike..thought i would get a qutoe to have it professionally painted gloss black cause the paint i did has some runs and im just not happy with it..but he said it will cost me 950$ to paint it..crap, not for something ill probably just slide in the future..not worth it.

 

LOL....i won't even tell you the quote i got then for my bike which i will be painting next winter....let's just say it's more figures than that.....

i hopefully won't be sliding my bike anytime soon...but i also plan to get another set of plastics for the track sooo...

 

Ouch! Im pretty lucky when it comes to paint. I have good connections.

 

/\/\ I'm with Redd, I would never get my bike painted except I can get the paint free and have someone else shoot it free. Nothing like a good homie hookup.

 

Ah, fortunatly i have a few to!

i just rode out to a body shop in which the owner is good friends with my mom...he said about $600.00 any color i want..so im gonna go with a peral orange with some silver and black accents..should be able to afford it by june.

 

you guys all suck....anyone have a hook up in IL????

 

well i cant leave it rattle can black for ever..i mean some parts look like there professional...but the tank and one side fairing are being gay..so im gonna do a custom color.

 

I paid $500 for gloss black. If you have a shed or a windless day rattle can it. Take you time doing prep work, and clean it well you can do a great job with a paint can. Also its like 1/50 the price, and some self esteem for a job well done.

 

if your hands on spend that money on some equipment and learn to spray

 

Painting part is easy, It's all that damn prep work that sucks!!
