    So how much does a decent paint job take and how much do they cost?

    was thinking about the tl in black. I dont want car painters pulling my bike apart as they wouldnt have a clue, and reflections over charge.

    It seems to be a common mod for lotsa models of bikes. I tried disabling the flapper valve on the VFR800, and I reckon it made the bike run worse below 5k RPM. I tried it on the VTR, and didn't notice any difference. The only bike that it did make a difference on was the VF500, where the snorkel intake is at the rear of the airbox lid. I thought I had some issues when running into a headwind where the bike seemed to have a lean surge, so I turned the airbox lid around, which made the intake noise slightly louder and the bike seem to run better. However, one day I rode over the Kaimais with the snorkel at the front, and the carbs iced up - the only time it had ever done that (and I rode it through two winters in Chch, including when it was snowing). So, I put it back to stock. Obviously, the thing was designed to suck slightly warmer air from the space above the engine.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    i spent well over $700 in paint, but that was largely in part to it all being mettalics and 2pac clear and a bit of epoxy primer etcetc

    realistically, with the repairs, 3 colour job, plus rims, masking vinyls etc etc, and my bike being less than co-operative when fitting/removing fairings, my job would be over $2k easily

    single colour on undamaged parts, however, would be a fair bit cheaper

    i'm no expert, and i suspect a signwriter could do a very nice job indeed using vinyl over a base colour for a relatively lower price
