Anyone out there paint fairings for a reasonable price?
Looking to do a Nastro Azzurro Honda NSR500 color scheme.
basically that Yellow/blue/white/blue.

yEAH i hear they are awesome - but pricey.

out of interest - is there anyone here who has had fairings painted up nice - what kind of price am I looking at?

I had my front fairing plastic welded and painted at the local panelbeaters for $170

why dont you just do it yourself?. buy a paint gun and rent a compressor, after that get a roll of tape and mark it out (after you've prepped), paint. finally buy a sticker kit for it over the web.
thats what i might be going soon...

I prepped a bike once (primer and sanding + filling scratches etc) and then took it to a panel beater and they painted it with the leftover paint from a cage. Had to wait a couple of weeks till they had painted a car the right colour but it only cost me a bottle of bourben and came out supprisingly good.

The moral of the story... its not WHAT you know, its WHO you know. a "contact" whos a beater of panels, is going to do a full bike (tail sides nose) for about 250ish, all i gotta do is get the plastic welds (2 wee ones) prepped

all i gotta do is send him any people i know who need paint, and he doe sweeeet work its the reccomended repair place the insurance ppl say to go to
