HansBlinkers Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Where could I get my motorbike resprayed? Mr mechanic said they could get it done for me for 1500bath so I presume I could get it done for half the price if I could go straight to the man.

SomchaiCNX Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Hans, You must be the cheapest Dutch Charlie in Chiang Mai. 99 % of the topics that you start are about cheap, cheaper , cheapest. 1.500 baht is cheap already you understand? To the rest of the world, the Dutch are in general not cheap, they are rather generous. I'm not Dutch but I feel sorry for your fellow Dutch country men on this forum.

uptheos Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 1,500 Baht for a good re-spray sounds like a very nice price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eek Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Hmm..actually guys, just tagging onto this thread (hope you dont mind Hans), but my bike needs some patching up as has some scraping on the edge. Is it possible to have this patched rather than a whole respray? (not being a cheap charlie, its just that its such a small area!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm 1st of all I'm not Dutch and I never claimed to be. You shouldn't make assumptions. "99% of the topics you start are cheap, cheaper, cheapest" Is that right? 2nd You're under the impression that I think 1500baht is expensive, It's not. My point being is that the price was given to me via a middle man, I just want to cut out the middle man as that's the way I do all my business dealings. In the future if I need more work done, why sould I go through middle man all the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you presume that you could get it done for 750 but do not find 1500 expensive????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRS1 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 1500 baht is a fair price for work where it depends on the talent of the person doing it...you really don't want to skimp on price. For 1500 baht it must not be a sport bike, or else its 3500 up, much more surface area involved. Tank and two fenders is nothing. Holding a spray can isn't as simple as some people think.
