spray painting

[yeurman]

How much do you all pay for a fairing paint (spray) job. Up to now, I've only ever done it myself with Halfords spray cans and its costed no more that £80 including all wet and dry paper and all the primer, paint and lacquer.. and thats for the lot, tank. faring, mud guard and seat unit. My finished work isnt that bad as can be seen on my pic web site, but how much would I pay for a professional paint job and for racing, is it worth the extra cost? Just looking for your experience.

not for racing no. do it your self mate. down my way for a full job your looking at 500-900, depending what you wanted like. not worth it for race fairings ay. vinal wrap is another idea. resonably cheap and can give good results.

I have my own compressor / spray equipment. Cost me around 200 squids just for paint Pearlescent, High quality lacquer, thinners and a few extra bits and pieces.

i have my own compressor my own spray gun from screwfix about £160 i do bits n bobs on the side for my mates bikes n vans and stuff i would say why not use industrial paint u can get a 5 litre tub of paint for about £40 i think its easiest 2k looks pretty good aswell when polished up (if the spray job is good and the prep) dont forget the 2k hardner though ill put pictures up on mine soon .
