Hey Chrisn, welcome aboard mate......Seems to be alot of Perth Members Joining....is there something in the Water??????

Nah, Seriously dude there is no such thing as paint codes on bikes (except for Hondas + BMW, and even then they turn out different when u mix it up) The Motorcycle industry when it comes to paint is a big mystery.

The car industry have every car colour ever made on disk and we get colour chips and formulas upgraded every year, but Japan seems to wanna keep these paint formulas to themselves wen it comes to bikes. Thats why theres hardly anyone around doing good work.

All the car panel shops claim to be able to do it but I run a Motrcycle ONLY paint shop in Sydney and end up repairing most of everyone elses fuck ups.

The ONLY way is to colour match.....and that in itself is an art form.
Good luck.

on average,prices will vary but this will include crack+repairs and a few decals , baked in an oven @60 degrees.

Tail............$330
Frt Guard.......$125
Tank............$350
wheels..........$150 ea

depends on the bike....i just quoted a sportsbike but it depends on size of panels as well
