Anyone have a good estimate to have a bike repainted at a shop? Color is black now, and just want it repainted black again.

a lot of it depends on the prep needed also. A bike that needs a lot of prep work before painting is going to be a lot more than one that doesn't.
Hell, you could always do your own prep work so all they have to do is spray, that would save you some bucks.Kan-O-Gixxer!

My Painter Charged me $500 for the red. Thats everything. The right maining had some mild snatches on it. the gas tank had alittle dent and some plastic welding that I did had to be covered up. Then I wanted Flames so that was another $150 for ghost flames (pearl white), Then he talk me into the pin striping that cost me another $125. So what $775. I think that right. But I know it was around $800.sigpic
