Hey guys, what's new. How's the off season treating you? Anyway, My sv's completely striped down, winterized, and ready for a new tank and fairings all the way around. My question is this: How much would you guys pay to have the fairings (excluding the tails) painted an original suzuki color. I've found a set of race fairngs for the sv for $400 shipped to my door. Now, I've gotta get em' painted the SV factory blue. What do you think is reasonable. Thanks.

Well, how much would the painting be? Include that with the race fairing you bought and see if it equals out to if you bought an original piece. Or am I misunderstanding you? Sorry, I'm a ebay guy...so anything cheap sounds good to me!

I have no idea. I would say take em to a few shops and get quotes.

I got quotes all over the board, I was just wondering if anybody in here already has gotten their bikes painted, and what they payed. Cause if I went through oneidasuzuki.com, the upper fairing is like $230, and the side fairings are about $500. So, why not get both for $400 and just have 'em painted ya know?

If Macco can paint an entire care for less then $300 then a bike should be cheap. If you take is to Macco.

don't they do crappy work though? Anyone know where I can get OEM paint?

Rattle can. Then you can crash it and repaint it real cheap.
