Hot Candy Blue & $$ ?

[Guest]

Have a guy that wants some bike parts coated in candy blue. Checked the color and it doesn't say if it needs a base coat like chrome or silver etc. But I'm thinking it does.

He wants these items coated. Suzuki GSXR 600 sport bike frame, swing arm, both wheels, sub frame, brake rotors, and the gas cap. I only have pricing for HD. Any one got any thoughts on price. If it's one or two coats would make a difference, which most of us know.
Thanks, JTW

Candy colors are transparent, so yes they will require a basecoat of metallic or chrome powder unless shooting over real chrome.

My price for the frame would be about $150, swingarm $75, front rim $80, rear rim $100, rotors about $20 each, gas cap $15. As far as I know, the GSXR doesn't have a subframe. Prices are for single coat, so candies with a basecoat will be 50% more.

Anyone else?

Okay guys and thanks. I will ask about the subframe.

I would think the Gixxer rear subframe would be about the same (maybe slightly more) as a swingarm, pricewise.

Sound about right?

Got pic of the bike the dude wants to have PC'd. Also added a few more pieces to the list, but got a handle on those. Anyway, I think I scared him off with the price. Oh well. Oh yea, the subframe (as he called it) is the frame work the has the seat fastened to it.

Re: Hot Candy Blue & $$ ? Now with different parts

The guy that asked about his bike in this thread sent me an email with pic to have coated, but a bit different then my original request. I have no clue about this type of bike parts and pricing.

List and pics below.

upper fork tubes, sprocket carrier, 2 caliper brackets,upper and lower triple tree, gauges bracket, and 2 small handle bar spacers. 2nd picture is of the foot controls which includes the brackets, pegs, heel guards, brake pedal. these are the pieces that i would like done in flat black. they are completly disassemble, cleaned, and ready to go.

That second picture is a rearset, I charge 45 for standard colors(black, white) you get the idea.
