Can people give me a rough idea on paint job prices?

I want to give the Busa a one off paint job as I was never a great fan of this models all one colour paint scheme (See piccy). I haven't got any idea of what to do with it yet but would like some idea of professional paint job costs.

Its obviously going to be multi colours at a minimum and if its not too expensive I might even go in for some airbrush art work.

I've had the bike from new and intend keeping it for a few years so I want something to make it stand out, any suggestions welcome.

The best advice is to ask for good sprayers in your area, and then take the bike round and ask for a quote.

My bike (naked sv) was sprayed with two colours (metallic), I had the wheels, tank, hugger, mini fairing, grab rail, mudguard, side panels, rear panel plus the lid done for £700 from Graham at Plastec in Burghfield, Near Reading in 2002. Thumbs Up (oh and sign written too)

True, Dance!

But please remember I am now an old fart who has enough money to indulge his fantasies. I have been through the fun of keeping bikes on the road for the cost of a bag of sweets. That is now you youngsters of todays problem.
