Ok so I've got a small top fairing and a belly-pan that I need painting. It's for a track-bike so it doesn't have to look too pretty although as I can't ride very well, the bike's look needs to count for something

Does anyone know roughly how much a paint shop would charge to do it (I live in east Melbourne burbs)?

My other option is to go for my best guess on a color match and grab some aerosol cans instead.

I know its not what your dealing with as its to do with fixing cracks first then spraying, but still, principles apply.
Heres how i fixed my old bikes front mudguard.

part two, this is more relevant to you. I used this as a guide on how to spraypaint my fairings.

Cool, thanks for that mike-s! Very informative stuff

dude ...just spray the farker with aerosol over the top..ull prob bin it several times anyway...if ur trying hard enuf!!

nothin wrong with summernats in a spraycan as long as the prep is good.

bingo, half the work was prepping the fuggin thing. Thats why i redid the prepwork & painting about 3 times until i got it right.

Hmm


Might have to spray the race glass myself...

Hell yeah, its good fun if you've got music on and a lot of supply of beer (i have a bottle shop a 5 minute walk from my place, so close enough)

b.t.w. When did you change yer nick Dan?

Make sure you wear a mask or you wont need the beer

couple of days ago mike.

This was my original nick, and was always my nick on trakdaze.

Just felt like a change.

Dan if you have a compressor and gun 4l great, at least if you bin it you can get some practice painting and repairs. Other wise summernats in a can, just the prep( ) very painful.
