Bike respray

How much should I expect to pay to have something like a Honda CBR600RR resprayed all in one colour?
Any ideas?

Might be easier to buy a chinese fairing kit. Paint wise, anything between £150 and £10000 depending where you go.

It depends on the design you want and wear you go but for a decent job you are looking at a minimum of £600, I would have thought. A chinese fairing kit might cost £300 but a proper respray will be much better quality,

My bike cost a fair bit less to get resprayed, I cannot complain about the quality of that spray.

My chinese fairings were also spot on Thumbs Up

How much of a ball ache is to to remove and replace the fairing?

Personally i'd be looking at chineese fairing kits & their feedback to judge quality. That way if you do come off then you've got original genuine plastics to put back on it.

On my Bandit i had a budget sprayjob done & it set me back £150 including a new panel & a shitload of repair work to the existing ones. However in terms of high end spray jobs it just cost us £1k to get this painted & it's a very good job by dream machine;

That looks really nice.
Thanks for your help on this.

China fairings to save the hassle on not having the bike available whilst it's away to get sprayed! My Gresini rep was £350 including the customs fees and delivery!

In short, they're made out of ABS, so the same material. And, they're reasonably well made. From a distance, the finishing looks good. It's only if you're a pedant or meticulous will you find issues with things like decals. Single colour schemes shouldn't be too bad, especially if you give them a reference.
