spraying a fairing panel.

is it worth doing this your self is it difficult? would it look crapola? has anyone every tryed?
my problem is i need to get a k6 blue/silver nose cone sprayed sonic silver but i need it doing as cheap as poss. the 650 i should be selling owe's me money so the more it costs me to get it sprayed the more money it owe's me if i need it doing properly any ideas how much a job like this would cost?

if a tank is around £100 (i think i've heard that somewhere) i'd suppose £50-£100 would do it?

i charge about £120ish if thats any help

It's quite hard to spray well, cheaply... You need a lot of stuff to do it right- filler, various wet and dries, primer, spray, topcoat- so it adds up. By the time you've got all the stuff, if you're starting from scratch, it's not much of a saving over a pro job and it'll almost certainly come out worse. I did the whole bike and saved maybe a couple of hundred quid, but it took a huge amount of time and it's just not up to pro standard. I'm glad I did it, and I'm pretty proud of the standard I got as a beginner, but it makes no sense, not if you can get it sprayed for £100 or thereabouts. You could PM Big Al as well...

Question- how much is a new one? Not all that expensive I think, for the pointy...
