Paint Job

[daddydarko]

I was just quoted at 3k for a two-tone repaint. The guy said it was more like doing a car than a bike. Anyone else get a quote yet? Seems high to me but the guy is the guy in West Michigan for custom paint jobs.

Sounds way too high to me but the last paint job I had done was on a POS '76 Dodge P/U at Earl Schieb...$300.

I understand this company does quality work on Goldwings at reasonable prices...

Are you still planning on repainting your Spyder since you got the red one?

[daddydarko]

No way. I originally ordered the red before they told me it would be fall. I couldn't wait that long for my baby so I opted for Full Moon before this became available. Worked out perfectly!

3K is not out of line depending on what you get. This was 6K but the guy gave me a deal to promote his biz. Still it was worth it seeing there was 17 coats on it and prep between each coat.

The paint is metal flake but does not show up in the pictures. I may need a better camera. The color is Candy Brandy Wine from House of Color. You're looking at five coats. I'll try today in the sun for a close up.

Unless you are doing something WILD - I just don't get $3,000 for painting one of these - considering all the panels pop off - this should be a pretty easy job.

Can I ask where in West Michigan - as that is where I live. I have a client that does paint - and is incredible. I know guys that won't let anyone else touch their car or bike.

If you can get five coats of hand rubbed metal flake for less then $2,300. There are a total of three coats, base coat, then the white pearl, then the metal flake. Then do it all over again four more times. Paint cost was $900.00 alone. Spyder # 114 John

Well - I've never had any metal flakes after hand rubbing--- ;D


I was assuming a simple spray job. I don't know about anything with metal flakes or other stuff. I thought he was interested in the BRP red color.

I was looking for a simple two tone with some clear coat. The gentlemen was called "The Whiz" and he was booked through July back in February.

Now that I have the red though, I'm golden.
