$1,000 minimum! Too many chemicals and products. Plus wash lacquer thinner is up to $75 bucks a barrel! 5 Gal.
It's tuff nowadays! I won't even paint no body's stuff unless close friend or my own!
Here is a little mini bike for my grand daughter I'd have to charge $250-$300! Plus I had the blue paint from another job.
Plus I cleared over the water decals for the original techumsah engine. They were $15.00 for the 3 of them.
Took me 3 days to do this little work!
You pay for what you get!

4 years ago I wanted to do the same paint job. I bought the decals and sent everything to a local hot rod painter. He couldn't work with the decals - said they were crap - so he painted the stripes on. It came out looking great and he charged me $800.00. Now if I can only get off my a$$ and put the bike together.....

where did u buy the decals, r they the same one's I see for sale on line from z1 enterprise and z1 parts net.I talk to a professional painter today and he said he was going to do some research on what it will take to get her back to the original paint scheme...I think 800.00 a fair price .. does anyone else have prior exp. with the decale set up

I had Marbles motors paint mine dark diamond green and put decals on, excellent job! Matched the color exactly. and he used Reproduction decal (Diablo Cycle)

good to here,that's what Im going with (Diablo Cycle) Im starting to get excited about getting her painted Diamond Green.I found a paint shop 7mi.from my house..

I don't remember where I got those decals.... :huh:

I am being quoted $1200 and I am painting in the stripes and using Jaguar Racing Green for personal reasons which is f'n expensive. It was going to cost me like $800 in materials, so.....the painter is getting the nod!
