cost of paint

[daglad]

I am a little way off yet but i only have 2 big lumps of money to go now being a new rear shock and the respray. I know the shock is £300 all bar a fiver but what should i be looking at for a respray, i am looking at an original colour scheme and was thinking about £600 would that be somewhere near?

And i know this is very objective but who do i give the job to, i live in North Lincolnshire, i don't mind traveling if its not too far say 150 miles give or take

for a respectable job with decent materials and nothing too complicated id say £500 and above for naked bike and £800 and above for faired bike
with the ecomomy being pants and many small bodyshops struggling you should get a decent job for fair money.
if you clean all your panels up yourself,remove old decals and possibly paint strip the tank you may save a few quid but ask the painter you choose to use.
