I think you'd be looking at around £100 to get it done right .
Sanded back to metal so they can start from fresh like the painter did with mine .
As a good painter will tell you they can't trust the paint that's on it already as it may react

To be perfectly honest going back to bare metal isn't always the way go go and can cause as many issues as going over the top of something. Just panel wipe it and then but a barrier layer in and you'll be toppers.
Anymore than £50 - £75 to paint a tank in a single colour and you need your seeing to unless you have some flash paint or want a show finish.
If you have time give it a guide coat with a rattle can and then sand it back to give a good surface to work from.
Just (last month) had a tank, front guard and some rear body work painted for £150 in metallic red and the spray shop did all the prep work

Re: 19ltrs :)

Re: 19ltrs :)
just a tip - fit an inline fuel filter after a tank respray.
you'll always get bits of it in the tank and it may save you having to strip the carbs!
