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 ...

 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

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