What kind of motorcycle racing? drag? Moto GP? the best advice I can give you is to take a bunch of resume's to the races and hand them out. A big plus for most race teams would be if you had a license to drive a large truck. The bigger the team, usually the bigger the rig they drive. Usually the dr...

That should be no big deal for most any shop that sprays a quality paint. PPG, Dupont, something like that. Solid black (no metallic or pearl) is an easy match on bike parts. Should even cost a little less, somewhere around $150 to $175.

Good luck

most car body shops don't mess with bikes. The ones that do, make sure they have done them before, and that they can match the color. Most bike colors are candies or pearls, that car painters don't deal with on a regular basis. What color is the tank? How deep, or bad is the scratch? some minor scra...

I think supply and demand plays a big part as well, some colors just sell better than others.

one reason could be that most "colors" on bikes are actually candy colors. That is a tinted clear over a colored base. Or a pearl, which is usually applied over another base color. These colors require a little extra time and materials, but give a custom look to the bikes. I don't think th...
