respray :(

**Nolan** · 18th April 2006, 15:55

Ok had a lil bin on a ride yesterday.

Anyway bugger all damage but my front fairing a quite damaged and i was thinking of a full respray and how much it could cost.

Im pretty sure i can get the decals made up at some signwriter place cheap(as ive heard)

Since its still got all origional fairings i wanted to just get it back into shape with an origional paint job.
Now other cbr owners may get angry BUT the white, red, blue paint job doesnt really appeal to me and i would like to paint it the black/grey? version(pics attached)
Does anyone know where i could find some higher res pictures of this colour scheme?

Also who does plastic welding in auckland and painting?

What are peoples thoughts on a black cbr, personally i like them much better than white.

Since i dont have much cash, would buying the paint myself (imported or whatever) and doing it myself or getting it done with my paint work out to be cheaper?

hmmm to do one colour for all the paint thinner topcoat hardner PLUs a compressor and a spray kit you probably looking at $500..... I did it a bit cheaper at a cost of about $350. (paint for a bike is about $200-$250 for everything)

And for that money you could maybe find someone to do a professional job if you have a hookup.. If not then you probably looking at $1000+ for someone to do it.

There was a guy on trademe offering to do 2 colour jobs for like $750 or something a while back.

Yea i wouldnt mind painting the fairings myself as their only 1 colour, then you put the decals which make it look like 2/3 colours.
But the tank is actually 3 different colours.
So maybe i could do it myself except for the tank and get that pro done?

My dad knows quite a bit and he wouldnt let me fuck the paint job up. (eg get proper spray equip)

Has anyone got decals made up before and from where?

Edit. Yea i like that colour saslex, my wheels are already black and i really want like a pure black cbr, but it will look dodgy if it aint a standard colour scheme

Hey man give me a pm, i have a compressor and have done some fairing repair and spraying from when I crashed fellow Kber slob's bike.

These are a couple examples of that recent project. The tail fairing looks like it has a defect, this is just reflected light!!

**Nolan** · 19th April 2006, 14:20

Holy shit sic thats mean

Is it a origional or did you get it sprayed like that?
I was thinking of doing it that same style but i thought it would devalue it cause mine is a 90 so older paint scheme?

Thanks for the number bugjuice, ill give him a call. Should i call him during like work hours or after hours?

Thanks for offering Andrew, pm sent.
