Spray job
 
Bought some 2nd hand lowers for my SV as I thought they might 'finish it off', they are yellow, my bike is YC2 candy blue.

How much do you reckon to get them resprayed??? ... I have had 2 quotes to get it professionally done, and one for colour matched spray tins from a place on the interweb.

As a tip, I wasn't pleasantly surprised ... :evil:

Having better luck than me, I've emailed 4 sprayers for quotes and not a single reply :lol:

I don't feel so bad now!! :D

I was quoted £170 and £125, even the spray paint option came in at about a ton!! I was expecting £60-70 pro, £20-30 DIY. Bearing in mind you can buy a brand new set of lowers already colour coded for what £300?? ~150 sheets for the spray job seemed a lot to me!!!

my lowers and headlight nose cone were £40 to prime, spray and clear lackered. It was done by the RAF sprayer who spray the Aircraft + other things.
paint was £25 from a shop who mixed it. that was for 0.5 litre

A bit late ... they are all done and I collected them this AM!! :D

The match isn't perfect, looks a bit dark, :cry: but lets wait until I have put them on properly before making final judgement. :?
