How much $$$ for complete repaint of FJR?

[HaulinAshe]

Just wondering about how much $$$ the experience of getting a FJR repainted represents (typically). I know it varies by area, blah blah blah. Just looking for some budget numbers in case I decide to bite the big one for an 07.

Be sure to check my profile in case you wonder what color I intend to paint it!

I'll trade you my blue parts for your red.

For a custom paint job for the entire bike, with a simple color scheme... maybe a grand. For something more complex (see what I've got planned), you're probably looking at least 2 to 3 times that (for a good job).

Jeff, you're killin' me!

Now, there's a solution for ya'! I'd be willing to trade, also. I think that the Black Cherry is hot & sure there will be others that feel the same. Wish I were in the market for a new bike... 'cause very possibly the '07 would be it.

My '03 was stolen, recovered, totalled, bought back and restored, almost all work being cosmetic, but $320 or so in parts. It ran right around $2,000 for paint work: thoroughly cleaning all parts, roughing up the original paint, shooting a coat of metallic silver, then five coats of "corvette" red tint, then three coats of clear. I think there were 17 individual plastic pieces that had to be worked. I've since had the wheels powder coated - after both were bent, then straigtened - to match the "gun-metal" (?) engine cases.

Yep, that's fairly consistent with what I'm being quoted, allthough mine's a bit more since it involves a good deal of "artwork"...

asked for a quote to paint mine a different color. Got a $1,200 quote for a metallic type paint w/ clearcoat and Guardian protector

Just buy a new '06! I know where there are several of them still on the showrooms floors. Good time of year to wheel and deal on them.

That would be pretty neat. If you also traded tanks, you'd both have new bikes without any painting. I'm about 99.9% sure this won't work with anything older than an 06 because of the heat fix and the "fins".

Neat-o! :lol:

Please advise locations, know of any around Salt Lake City?

See! Proof positive that it's a girl's color...

j/k...running away now before Heidi beats me up....

Actually, I like it better than the Galaxy Blue. 'course I am gonna have my '04 for quite awhile. The way they keep adding weight to these bikes, FJRs will weigh 800 lbs by the time I'm in the market for one... :glare: STOP IT YAMAHA. How 'bout something in the 500lb range...

 

[HaulinAshe]

I'm afraid of anything "Cherry" colored. Definitely a GURL color.

Come on Heidi, you still awake?
