Paint prices
 
So I bought a Skidmarx belly pan for my 2014 pointy hoping that the White it came in would be unnoticeably similar to my 'glass splash white' bike - WRONG!

So I've set about getting quotes to have it painted and the best I have got is £230 - bare in mind the belly pan cost £100.

Anyone know of anywhere that offers painting at a slightly more reasonable rate, I accept that it's a pearlescent paint and a bit tricky but thought it was a bit steep.

I did try to get a belly pan direct off Suzuki but they said their supplier of body parts for the SV are no longer in business with them

£230... thats taking the pizz.

go onto ebay and try http://stores.ebay.co.uk/bikecolours...p2047675.l2563 get a small tin of the paint and top coat and then take it to any back street spray painter, they should not charge any more than £60 for their time. i suspect one of the reasons you are getting such high quotes is that they dont want the job.

A belly pan should be about 50 quid to paint

It cost me 100 quid to paint the replacement nose cone I scooped to get it done in YHJ, understandably an annoying colour to paint.

Gotta agree with them probably not wanting the job. Trouble with things like painting is most of the time is taken up with sorting everything out, you can paint a big area in not much more time than a small one so painting just a belly pan doesn't work out as cheap as you'd think.

Your best bet is like bibio says, someone small, preferably someone you know or will be getting more work off you in the future.
