    So my 1986 electric VFR700F project is finally down to the finish line and I'd like to get everything painted. I've got all fiberglass fairings and gastank, so nothing metal will need paint.

    I can do all the sanding, filler and some preliminary primer. I'd like the following painted white with clearcoat:
    - Front fender
    - Gas tank (only the top)
    - Front upper fairing (has been modified with dual headlights)
    - Right and Left lower fairings
    - Race tail (one piece)

    On a bit of a budget, don't mind putting a graphic sticker on there of someone's business.

    Looking for recommendations, or maybe someone on the forum local that might be interested in helping out.

    Thanks

    Save your money for a real paint job. Most shops would tell you to look elsewhere. Spend a few bucks on a book or check one out of the library. No need to look for one on bikes. Cars will do fine.

    I ended up going that way.... have a painter friend that is going to help me do it. Has a paint booth and is going to help with prepping the fairings.

    He has everything I need.

    Great.. do it right and it will look good. Lots of work but worth it. Hopefully you will do the whole bike instead of just pieces and spotwork..

    What do you mean? I intend on painting all of the fairings and prep them the same and finish them the same.
