    Anyone know a paint shop or decal shop?

    I lowsided yesterday in my first crash. I'm more pissed about the bike because it was in such nice condition. I figure someone on here might know a local shop that paints great and cost efficient. I need to repaint my lower right fairing and it also rashed my upper fairing which is probably going to cost the most. Otherwise if anyone knows a custom decal type shop that does custom graphics or wraps I can probably just wrap the rashed areas or create a custom decal on it.

    Here is the pictures of the rashed stuff. Theres other broken stuff but the rash is the ugly part to me:

    Thanks grim! Did you happen to have deep scratches into the area below the paint. Was any bodywork needed like crack repair? There are no cracks for me. But the upper fairing wore down to the black plastic underneath. Also was it just 3 pieces or did they paint the left fairing too. . Mine would only really need the right fairing and the upper one. But if they're that cheap maybe id get my hugger matches at the same time.

    Nvm I see they painted your left side too. That's killer! I have a glass metallic paint so I would hope it wouldn't be too much extra. But for me only needing 2 pieces painted maybe its only the $200. Great find! I will google their shop and find out about stopping by there this week! I see you were luckier than me however as your brake pedal didn't brake off and my exhaust was on the right side and was rashed up and banged as well. Wish sv650 had undertail exhausts!

    Another good paint shop is PV Motorsports, he is the father of one of the members here but I cant remember who unfortunately. My two thoughts on wraps didn't work out, Aaron at Un!nk Printworks did great work but I heard he is out of the bike business for now and while Factory Effex does sportbike wraps for Suzuki they only do GSXRs.

    Ive been looking at some nice wraps today but theyre all for the gsxr, no love for the sv unfortunately. I had a custom setup on my car back in 2005 at a shop in CA when I lived there. They just took a direct side shot and we drew out the design on the computer and they printed it and installed it for me the same day. Maybe theres a place like that for bikes if the paint shop price isnt good when they see the type of paint I have.

    Fix the broken parts and leave it until spring. You will get used to the scratches. There is a reason your first bike should be a bit of a beater. Spend the $ on better gear and dare I say, track time.

    Might also try Colorite paint online and do it your self.

    I fixed cracks and holes in my lowers, got spray bombs from Colorite and it matched perfect.

    I might try PV and ChipMagic today and at least get quoted. If it's as cheap as Grim got his done for I'll do it but if its like $400 to $600 for it then no way. I have a friend who rode with us Saturday he helped me cleanup the bike at his house after and he has an SV in the same paint color and needs some bodywork/paint as well so if the shop is able to cut a gfood deal to do both bikes at the same time since they already will have to fill and clean their paint guns then I'll go for it.

    Just remember bodywork (repair) always adds to the cost. My buddy sprayed my TLR after I did most of the prep and layed out the stripes, and I still ended up with a $500 bill.. but that was multiple colors as well.
