How much does it cost to have a tank & side panels painted ?

My 400 never had a re-paint on the tank & side panels as they were in fair condition plus I did not want to put more money into the pit for a bike that is really too small for me.

The 500 build has stalled a little whilst I wait for some front fork lock nuts from DS - I'm trying to budget for the build I want but have no ball park figure for paintwork as I've never had it done.
I'm assuming that the side panels will need a special stretchy paint application as they are a type of plastic. Tank has a dent but inside is very good.
I will not go down the rattle can route with my paint skills as the tank is such a centre piece on a bike.

I want the paintwork to be in a gloss black finish (possibly metallic)  what sort of ball park cost is involved please? 

Nurse Julie:
I know of a painter not a million miles from you that paints tank and side panels for about £400.

Oddjob:
One very close to Derby that did Sesman and Grommitdogs tank and side panels for £350. Looked a decent job as well and in Candy paint. Maybe ask Phil or Nigel for details, might be more expensive now due to energy prices going up.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
That might be the chap at Ilkeston iirc I have some details somewhere.

Yes, Sean Dewis, I may have given you his contact details before Ted.
