Why do people copy me.

Got me 2 spare sets of fairing (nearly), one of which will be painted matt black while the other is gonna be Duke 848 white (with red 650 instead of 848 ).

Can then chop and change depending on my mood!

Respray? 20 quid.

Paul the 6th · 26-06-08, 08:07 PM

done!

OK you have colour options, satin black or matt? Would you like it applied with a stick or a shovel?

I can do styling me.

Green with silver stripes. Thread closed

As for cost... Varies ridiculously, and price is no indicator of quality. I'd just want to see some of the sprayer's previous work, that's the only important thing really. I've seen "pro" spray work that's worse than my own, and mine's not very good. Orangepeel, masking bleed, ugh ugh ugh.

And for your bike... Go to Halfords, and check out all the colours, then spray it the one, two or three colours you like most. If I was you I'd go light, to contrast the frame. Actually, I just had a thought:

That would look perfect, only maybe in in orange? I used to mess about in forza doing dual colour mockups- like the old dual sponsor BAR, I think that would look great on a bike.

Ive been loking at a respray myself. After talking to a friend who works in this field.
Paint can range from £20 (plain black) to £400 per litre.

If you are short of cash you can massivly drop the cost of the job by doing all the prepping work yourself.
just get hold of somm 400 grit sandpaper and key all the fairings up yourself. then if they have to do anything it's much less work and at about £35 p/h its a lot of cash saved.
Have a browse through the net and im sure you could get a good idea of what to do.
That greens growing on me tho!
