foyerboy Posted June 15, 2012 Share #1 Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) Hey guys I've got my 99 RSV all apart and I am ready to get it painted. I live in Hickory NC and am looking for someone who would do a good job at a reasonable price. Any suggestions? Also, what in you opinion is a reasonable price to have all the parts painted from a RSV [front fairing, lower fairings, tank, side covers,fenders and saddlebags(not doing the tour pack)]. I want everything sanded and painted back in only one color. So a little help on pricing and any painter suggestions will be appreciated! Pics will follow afterwards.......

kwisor Posted June 15, 2012 Share #2 Posted June 15, 2012 hello any good body shop. make sure thay use good paint basecoat & clear coat. as far as price call around the biggiest thing is the removeovel of the stripes. when i painted the bumble bee it took alot of time and priming to fix the stripes ware you could not tell thay where there and black will shop all imperfections. if i had a place to do it i would. but not any place at this time. look at my profile for pictures of the bee i painted bumble bee 1999 rsv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foyerboy Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share #4 Posted June 15, 2012 Wow, both of your bikes look great.... I'm really looking forward to finding someone to do mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etcswjoe Posted June 15, 2012 Share #5 Posted June 15, 2012 You could always just do it yourself about $400 bucks for the basecoat, paint and clearcoat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foyerboy Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share #6 Posted June 15, 2012 Joe.....I've never painted anything before. I know there is a first time for everything but I'm going to save this one for a pro. I'm such a perfectionist it would probably take me 3 weeks to do it anyways! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etcswjoe Posted June 15, 2012 Share #7 Posted June 15, 2012 After I made my post I wish I had not, not everyone has access to the equipment. I know a couple of good folks in SW Va but that may be a little far for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
