paint
« on: July 07, 2011, 08:29:33 AM »
I'm looking to have my K3 painted back to original stock color.  Any suggestions on someone who could paint back to factory original colors ? I live in Colorado and thought there must be someone who could do a good job around here.

Thanks for your help,

John

 You can get an old GSXR painted to factory with 3 different colors for around $1000. I don't know the going rate for a tank and 2 side panels but I wouldn't pay more than $300.

$300 for prep and paint. You gotta be kiddin'. Must be a real crapola job for that price. I guess it all depends on what type of color match, finish and shine you are looking for...not to mention longevity of the completed job. Now if you are talking the OEM candy you can not just take that to anyone. The guy must know how to apply it, etc. And if you are lucky you can find someone who can paint the stripes on and you don't have to dink around with decals.
