Should i have a new paint job for my bike ?

[flat eric]

Ok guys, I'm thinking of having my gixer 600 2008 sprayed in the Rizla Suzuki motogp 2011 colours.

So where do i send the plastics and how much will it cost me ?

Hope someone can help.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

i know this isnt for your bike but go on there shop they might have the rizla blue fairing for your bike if not theres litterally about 100 shops on there that do the same thing im sure 1 will have a set for you my friend braught a full set including a tank in repsol colours for his cbr ...i think he paid 460 with postage and it came in a crate all wrapped up separatly ect ect.....Looks amazing and he uses his old fairings for the track now

go through that list this is where my friend got his...sure they will have one for you! i can vouch and say they are very high qaulity

EDIT:

not 100% but...

That might be the one your after ? theirs about 10-20 sets for your model i think ?

Also a pro paint job will cost you as much if not more than those sets if you get qoutes im sure you could probly buy two sets for the same price of the paint job!


Hope all this was helpful

if you do decide to pain them i would recomend sanding alot your self as this can half the cost almost and if your cheeky enoguh to ask some sprayers might do it cash in hand and not put it on the books.

That paint scheme looks like it came straight from a council estate in the the early 80's.

Better still, forget the paint job .............. get a tin of matt black, cheap as chips (one colour fits all) ............
and spend the monies you`d have spent on a posh paint job, and spend it on beer & whores

the chinese body work is very hit and miss, the 400 guys have reported some being very good and only needing very minor alterations, but some being horrific and not fitting at all and needing major work to fit, add to that the finish isn't that great and have heard reports of the decals lifting away.

Those won't be actual tanks, I expect it's just a cover, otherwise you'd probably pay about £400 delivered just for a chinese tank (that I probably wouldn't trust as far as I could throw)
