It will EASILY approach ?300 to do it yourself and want a good finish.

Think about how much time it will take, even at mimimum wage levels its still a lot, then the paint, then the extra time to sand out any mistakes and then more paint.

Get my drift?

If you want to paint your bike for the experience/learning how to do it/fun, then go for it.

If you are DIYing to save money - you wont save THAT much in the end.

I worked out it would have been cheaper to replace the broken rear seat fairing with a colour matched part than it was to repair and repaint it myself.
