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

Ted, my red 400/4 was painted for me just before Christmas and was £500 and was truly excellent.

Dave supplied all the transfers and said that a lot of the transfers out there were not up to much. (Who am I to know!) I'll post a photo if required....

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

Be prepared to wait though ... it took him about 9  months to do my CB250K2 paint which was £420 (tank,side covers, fork ears and headlamp shell) .. Excellent job though .. Candy Custom Gold and white tank....pinstripe no decals.

I have just got my paintwork back from Gary at Spraypoint, in Purleigh and I am delighted with it. I sent him my Triumph 650 Tiger tank and front and rear mudguards, to be painted in Blue and Silver with pinstriping and my 400/4 tank and side panels to be painted Parakeet Yellow with the striping, the whole lot was £900, £550 for Triumph parts and £350 for my Honda bits, I did supply the decals for the Honda from Image works.

I have used various painters, ( a few big names in the painting world too), over the years and not been greatly impressed, some leaving dust in paint, blobs of  paint, small dents not done, etc. There is always a risk with painters, but I won't hesitate to use Gary again should I need to.

Am out just now but can post a pic or two later if wanted.

Not knocking Gary but those are not candy colours and for candy colours you really need a painter that has experience in applying that type of paint. Gary may have that or he may not, can’t say but it must be said nevertheless

Only trying to help regarding pricing as requested by thread starter.

The Triumph, has a metalflake/candy/ metallic 4 layer, type paint job, as can be seen in the picture,  I am not sure if that is classed as a candy job or whatever as it is not my field of expertise and I am quite happy to learn from people with more knowledge on the subject than I.

Without knocking anybody, it has to be said, nevertheless, that it is, in my opinion, a very
good paintjob.
