stevehaigh Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 here's a steed 400 i just bought. after a bit of tweaking its running ok but still waiting for new tires. i don't particularly like the paint job, the colours are ok but i don't like the finger design. what do you think of my lighting design idea (photoshoped obviously)? also, how much does a repaint like this usually cost? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildoates Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I had this done for 12000 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 It is going to depend a lot on how complicated you want to make it. I got my CBR done for B2000 but it was a single color and I brought him the pieces. I did the graphics later myself. It is the airbrush portion that is a mystery to me, but I am also curious, so if you find out airbrush prices let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netfan Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 You could try and find a copy of Ride Thailand mag- they have articles on custom bikes and give the info on who did the paint jobs. And its in both Thai and English... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photo please...and who did the paint for you, where? I have an old vrr150 that could use some paint, mostly on the tank, black would be fine. Maybe some silver or black on the frame too. Thanks.

wrathfultalon Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I am living near the town of Theong and am getting a respray done for the new tail section of my bike, but while in there saw a CB400 getting painted. for all fairings and tank with clear coat the cost was 2000 baht, not installed. the old tail section of mine is damaged and needs TLC. With one color and clear coat with repairs it will run 2000 baht, hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kf6vci Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I asked a Thai biker friend and he said THB 5,000 for a single colour, labor only. I would consider something timeless like a lovely metallic paint or a 2-tone job like maroon and ebony white. 12,000 would be way to high for me. but then, a cr*p job will cost you more than the difference in price to a good job in loss of value. try selling a bad paint job bike!! (I saw a house in CA once which was bright green inside and outside. Horrible!) A lot depends on preparation. Go to a pro!! There are Thai custom bike builders with great reputation, Thor something is one of them. These guys build choppers and won't spoil their hundreds of hours on some sloppy paint job!
