Hey Guys,
I wish to get my Gen1 resprayed (different colour) and was wondering what I should expect to pay .. ballpark figure. Mine is pretty crappy (scratches, stonechips, small ding in tank etc) so I'd expect it to be on the higher end of the respray spectrum. I've never had a bike painted so I really have no idea. Any suggestions as to a good painter in the Wollongong / Illawarra area ..
Thanks guys ..
Dale

A mate with his own crash/spray business did mine for mate's rate's (not much) But told me the spray blokes work on about $300/ panel. Tank/Nosecone/lh fairing rh fairing/bellypan/tail section/hump 7x $300
$2100 could be a baseline cost but really just a guess .

I had my bike fully resprayed for around $750.
No panel work required. It was done by an ex professional painter in his garage.

Agree with 1300Hayabusa if your not fussed about a custom paint job, panels from Internet are worth $800 bucks for the whole bike and come fully painted with approx 4 different styles. Can give you a number to ring if interested.

I did some enquires about this myself few months ago at Top Coat in Adelaide. The guy did some work for me before (very good job) and has an excellent reputation for a quality of work. He is not cheap but quality never is. Peter's estimate of about $300 per panel is about right for a simple standard job. Custom paint can cost you up to 5K and even more depending on how fancy you want to make it. For a standard colours it is cheaper to buy the new parts i recon too.

about 2k for a standard 2 tone paint job and custom flames or graphics could easily double that.
ask who ever does it if he has some work he's done to show you first.All painters think there the best.

) Don't think I'll go black frame tho' .. maybe polished. I was hoping to have it done before Tathra, but I might let vitto and corbin fight it out for best custom paint this year, and then sneak in and scoop the pool in 2012
