[jobr]

Anyone know of anyone in the South East who could paint a new 749S frame and a rough cost?????????

Cheers

Jobr,

Plenty of places for the painting, one of our members does powder coating and the like .. the real expense is getting the bike stripped so that the bare frame can be painted, then the cost of re-assembly.

Personally i imagine that would make it prohibitevely expensive unless you can do the strip down and rebuild ....

although not particulary local, JHP did mine including the rear sub frame. it was part of other work but the painting alone is in the region of 200 quid i think.

Dickie,

Wasn't yours stripped and re-assembled as part of a warranty claim ?????

Thats where the real cost of this sort of work is ... the painting like you say, is a couple of hundred quid ....

[dickieducati]

yes, mine was stripped for a number of reasons so that obviously saved a load of dosh. i think i heard you'd be talking 600 odd quid for the strip down and rebuild?

[jobr]

Thanks for the replies, I am not mechanically minded so would have to have the lot done and £600 quid is probably a bit steep.

Ducati Leeds are doing mine......

3 days labour at £35 per hour = aprrox 800 +vat + cost of powder coat etc
