For those of you that are in the paint industry of know how to paint, I want to paint my mid farings from black to red. how much would I be looking at $$$ wise? any body? Let me know. I'm doing this because I scratched my left mid and lower faring a bit. so, if I can save some money painting them over replacing them I'll go for it.

Thanks!!!

Tri coat paint has to be bought by the pint usually..At 40 bucks a pint you are looking at 80$ at least for color..then Clear coats,etc...Then labor..Then is it going to match in color? Red? I doubt it..

You could paint a black stripe over the damaged area and do the same to the other side or cover up the damage with some kind of graphic design..

For what it might cost to repair it, a new already painted part is not as expensive as one might have thought..
Will it be hard to match it even if it is the exact same color paint??

I went to my dealer and ask for prices: the lower is 150 and the upper is 275 will it be better to buy them new rather than re paint it? I like the all red scheme.
What you guys think???
