Cost to change colour.

[1vanvan1]

Just wondering the cost in changing the colour of my bike from black to white.

Its is a 03 CBR600rr. Thanks.

Any1 have any idea? or maybe a quote?

Probably about $800 if you remove the stickers and prep it yourself.

I imagine it will depend on weather it needs priming, if there are any "dents" or "holes" that need to be filled. I'm going to guess $1200.

Why do you want white? It will attract dirt like crazy, and be horrible to clean.

The big plus point however is that you won't actually need to do a 100% respray as black and white complement each other quite well. And if you can take all of the panels off yourself, then it will be pretty cheap. I suspect spraying the tank will be costly part (maybe that can stay Black).

I had two panels sprayed by the Plastic Repair company on Archers Road after my prang and it cost around $150.

as above, also depends on what paint systen the painter uses, i.e. 2K or base coat/clear coat etc.. also what type or colour you want, all colours cost different amounts, for example red is the most expensive colour. but there is more than just white, you can have a 3 layer pearl white etc...

do the perp work, its cheaper - easy peasy. if any holes, dents just bog and sand (use the right bog and make sure you do it right)
u could give the fairings to a Uni/poly tech that has a refinishing course. If u turn up with paint and all the gears ie thinners, hardeners, sand paper etc thaey might do it for free.
