I need some refrences for guys that do good paint jobs on MC plastics and give good fair prices. all i need done is one solid color and no body work repair.

i would do it myself but its a new bike so it has to be done in a shop and not by a shadetree painter.

just try doin it yourself and if you dont like it then sand it down and take it somewhere,, it shouldnt be that hard if you take your time, use the expensive paint and follow the directions, ive seen lots of garage painted bikes and they look good if you do it right. :biggthumpup:

If it's race fairings, do it yourself. If it's your plastics, get that shit done.

i know how to paint. i rebuilt a 01 zx6r and did all the work myself including body work (shaved tail grab bars) and paint with a gun and not spray cans.

this is for javiers bike (the guy who wrecked the 05 636). it will probaly be done when riding season slows down or he gets some track plastics instead of his street stuff for track

i dont see a prob with that paint job,, except for maybe it isnt as shiny as a pro job would be.

other than that , it looks good,,

i painted my old F2 with spray can, which came out pretty nice,, i did a wet sand and then shot some automotive clear on it, you couldnt really tell that it had been painted with a can of spray paint..
