Pondering... How much would a full respray cost?
 

I'm pondering (dangerously) and wondered how much a full respray would cost. I know the cost of the paint is a factor (remember a friend saying that some paints were a hundred quid a litre or more if you got fancy pearlescent stuff)...

Are there any escpecially notorious spray shops who are amazing at what they do? Looking around north or west yorkshire...

So for the lowers, upper fairing, tank, tail and front mudguard fender what-ya-ma-call it... basically everything which is blue, to be resprayed in pearlescent white - how much do ya reckon?

just wondering, not really got the cash right now but I'd be tempted if I suddenly had enough money spare...

EDIT:
If you read on, this thread turns into a bit of a debate about colour schemes and whether resprays are a good idea. We ended up having a photoshop session and here are the outcomes :D

Wouldn't mind knowing this myself.

it would depend on the paint wanted and then the design wanted is it just all white you want nothing else?things like that.

Paul, looks great why on earth would you want to change it? Its the best colour out there

Re: Pondering... How much would a full respray cost?
 

To make it look crashed / repaired, obviously! ;)

I have a spare full fairing (one lower needs a repair) and a tailpiece, I was thinking the same just so I could have a change when it suited me. All I need is a fuel tank with pump and a mudguard and I've got a spare set of boywork.

i love the blue colour - think it's great but I've got a bit of a hankering for a white bike and since the sv's have never been available in white, it'd be like the ultimate mod - anyone can buy an exhaust or a tail tidy... a custom paint scheme or colour is step further.

Was just thinking like a uniform pearlescent white (bit like the ducati 848)... I'm planning on keeping the bike for a number of years to come anyway. I'm not actively looking to get it resprayed now but if it turned out to affordable when I've got a little bit of cash spare, I'd be very tempted :)

the 08's are white:thumbsup:

a mate of mine working on the conference with me has just said the same:

"DONT BE STUPID! NOBODY WILL BUY IT EVER BECAUSE THEY'LL THINK IT'S BEEN CRASHED!"

I'm 95% certain I'll be happy with the sv for years to come (as long as it doesn't feck up mechanically). When selling wouldn't it be a bit more believeable that a bike hadn't been crashed if it had been resprayed in a special colour? I'm not saying that getting a fancy paint job is a better way of hiding a smash, but if you saw an sv in the street and it was in a unique colour - would you be intrigued/curious/impressed?
