Cost to paint

I have to get my lowers and fairing painted, both single color. Anybody give me an estimate as to what I'm going to have to pay to have it done?

Thanks.

I paid $200 to have my fairing painted and $180 for the tourpak. Same painter, just different times.

I paid $550 for the fairing (inner and outer) color matched with Urethane Clear coat. Guaranteed against chips for five year.

Had my fairing painted for $200 and Tourpak $ 225 If I was guessing you might find someone for about $350 for fairing and lowers there will not be a lot of prep to do on the fairing or the lowers. I painted my inner fairing in a enamel with a flatner in it to reduce glare

It is amazing how much it costs to have cars or bikes painted. Doesn't take a lot of paint but that stuff is sure expensive when you purchase it.

I paid 175 to have my fairing and lowers painted..two tone green/silver. Here is my suggestion, hit the internet and try and find a sport bike message board near you that is busy. For example in my area Ohio Riders is mostly sport bikes and huge. Ask around on there, you will find a professional painter that is into bikes and does painting on the side. You will get a much better deal that way.
