Jst2fst Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Hey, does anyone know where I can get a cheap paint job done on my bike. I'm looking to just get a solid color done or possible some graphics as well. Looking ot get the bike painted over the winter not sure exactly when yet. I'm in the Columbus area so I would need a local painter or when it heats up I could bring it in to get painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jst2fst Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Which do you want to lean more towards? cheap or good?I want a good paint job without breaking the bank. I'm trying to sell the bike but I need to do some cosmetic work and readjust the carbs some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINK Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Adjust the carbs, and sell it the way it is. The person interested might want to see the bike in it's original shape, then choose to paint it or modify it the way they want it, just my opinion though.

Beegreenstrings Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 +1 just sell it. I gave up trying to paint mine. The prime white I put on it worked so well that I left it that way. Put a few suzuki graphics on it and rode the damn thing all summer that way.I looked at painting mine. I have the paint even. The other option I looked at was having the plastics wrapped in the new vinyl. Might as well have it professionally painted at that cost...

fazer1sniper Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 If you plan on just selling thold girld I'd agree Link & 'strings.If you HAVE to paint it, let me know what's your budget. After I finish the kid's bike my paint room is free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorifto240 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 I'd go with sell it as is, but if you want to paint it, white hides dents and filler, and almost any imperfection really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottie.harris Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Very true, many people dont want a nicely painted bike for one it could be their first bike or they could want to do something custom or unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jst2fst Posted December 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Point taken on painting the bike then selling it. I was just trying to get the most money out of it when I sold it. Plus by only adjusting the carbs is and putting in some new jets is about all it needs really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reimbrandt Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 just my two cents.... go to a john deere dealer (yeah, I said john deere) and grab some flat black. 11 bucks a quart.............. half ass spray it and put it up for sale. easy to spray and hard to fk up. hides many different sins as far as body work. chi-ching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
