You are a funny man, thank you for that, made I larf

Took a few bits (centre fairing , seat cowl, RH fairing) to the local sprayer for a quote today.
and listened to the crap for 10 mins, so I said,
cut the bull s*hit how much
He wanted over 350 quid, so I left

I spent 30 quid on paint and will attempt this myself !!
How hard can it be

by centre fairing, do you mean the headlight surround?
if so that painter was taking the piss. they're a few guys on here that know how to spray properly, ask a question in the workshop section and i'm sure they'll help you the best they can.
I've done a bit over the years, with varying success. I recently painted another rear wheel. the tough part for me is I have to paint outside, and all the dust and crap in the air gets onto the fresh paint, really pisses me off. good luck kev....

items you'll need
Wet and Dry sand paper 400, 800, 1200, 1500 and 2000 grit (depending on what sort of finish you want).
Panel Wipe
Lint free cloths
Plastic primer (high build if you have deep scratches or fill them) (colour suitable for base coat you'll be spraying).
Basecoat
Lacquer
Buffing compound and mops
If your going to attempt yourself then prep it all properly, sand, prime, sand prime, wipe down with panel wipe and lint free cloth, spray colour mist coat first 10 min drying time then heavier coat, leave for 30-60 mins flat down to get rid of any orange peel or runs, repeat process until sufficient layers sprayed, leave 24-48 hours before lacquer applied, same process for lacquer. If you want real deep shine then after 1-2 weeks hit it with the compound and mops. Not before as lacquer wont be hard enough.

Make sure you spray in well vetillated area, away from pets and children, not too cold and not too hot around 15. Don't rush it and it will come out really nice. Think you might need to buy more paint though I would think if you've gone for cans about 3-4 for the base coat, 2 for the primer and lacquer 3-4

He was taking the p agent p, half the bike half the price no more than 200 max

I've paid £450 for a very good pearlescent paint job in the past, I think that was 9 or 10 different pieces of fairing.
here's the wheel I just painted, looks like I've smeared vas on the lense for that sexy look hahahaha


btw I use G3 compound paste then a good quality wax to finish off the job....

Thanks for the advice guys,
I decided against doing the RH fairing, to much for me to take on at this time,
Just doing the headlight surround and seat cowl for now,
got a colour match for my silver and it looks quite a good match,(no code under seat)
The bloke in the shop said the silver was just called " Honda silver" ???
Let you know how I get on,
If I don't post its turned out sh*t !!!

Very good job with that wheel!!!

Feckin tyre slime shite Let the air out then break the bead and get covered in the stuff as it explodes out of the tyre, takes ages to clean up the wheel and tyre machine, uses loads of blue roll and I can't dispose of the tyre with the stuff in it...
You try and educate people not to use the crap stuff but they insist on putting it in even when I show them all the corrosion it causes to their wheels. Todays one had deep black corrosion all around the tyre valve, had to chip it off, rub it down and paint that area. the last one I did corroded the rim so bad it was leaking out of the bead, so much for the stuff keeping your tyre inflated...
I will never sell it !!
