CB350F Restoration by royhall (NOW FINISHED)
Tiny Tim:
Thanks Roy, that would be really good of you.
I've just had a quote of £500-£550 from Andy bike paints to do the 350. A mate of mine used him and was very pleased with the end result. He has a website with previous work on it.
Cheers
Tim

Blimey that sounds like a lot of money. May be learning the art of painting at that price. Was expecting under £300, don't know if that's realistic. But to be fair, there's not that much of it to paint. Going to ring a guy tomorrow I shall see what he says. Cheers Roy.

Painting candy colours is an art and a "cheap" tank alone is normally £3-400

Agreed .. it takes a real pro to spray Candy particularly Honda Candytone Gold. The going rate for a 750K has always seemed to be 500-550GBP (that's what I paid) so I would think 400 is about correct for a 350, as less components and particularly if the pinstripes are transfers because the 750K0 stripes are painted on.
I often wonder whether on colours like Candy Antares Red that there isn't a close match in straight modern metallic. OK it may not have the candy sheen to it but it's probably less noticeable on the darker shades. I sprayed my 400/4 and painted the stripes on myself way way back in 1986 using a metallic and it looked OK. I also know a sandcast that was sprayed blue/green with some old and now obsolete Vauxhaul (I think) colour rattle cans and it's used on the backdrop at the IOM on the Sandacastonly site. Looked pretty awesome to me when I saw it in the flesh, for that kind of paint !!
The 400/4F2 tank is here:-
