just had a single seat unit sprayed. Yellow with white number boards and black outlines. Total cost was £100 for seat unit off e-bay, £55 for new Seat Pad, £180 for paint and spraying. Not cheap! Spraying will be cheaper without number boards. Word of warning, there is a variety of different Ducati yellows - as I found out! Will try and get the exact paint code from the sprayer but ended up with the Ducati Yellow which has a tiny percentage of green in the mix. It is an official Ducati yellow.

Got my mirrors done at the same time. Plasti coat them first to smooth them out, then sprayed. Another word of warning - (learnt quite a bit about painting during this little trip!) Do not oven bake the mirrors after spraying, the pro-longed heat causes the mirror glass retaining bosses to expand and mishape the back of the mirror surround (the part of the mirror visable from the front of the bike). Let the paint dry naturally.
