Default Painted Inner Fairing

I'm interested in having my inner fairing painted ('09 EGC - Red Hot Sunglo) and I know that several people on here have done the labor themselves and just taken (or sent out) the inner fairing to be painted.

I'm curious as to what I can expect a paint shop to charge me to prep and paint a "stock" inner fairing.

Thanks in advance!

My guy did mine for $75, I did it over the winter and just told him to fit it in when he could. Best $75 I've put into the bike.

Looks like the stock inner would take alot of prepping. To get that wrinkle finish off. Arent the painted ones smooth?

I saw a couple of bikes at bike night last week with painted inners. They were hot. One pearl white Eglide and a yellow screaming eagle RG. Hot!!!
Would a sunglo cherry inner look good on my merlot/ cherry Ultra?

Actually the prep isnt bad,but 75$ man thats cheap.Espect to pay from 125 around 250 ,maybe even more for a quality job.Heck for quality paint and other materials involved you are looking at 75$

Here's what a $75 paint job looks like!!!! Anything that appears to be a blemish is just the lighting, looks flawless in person even after a few years.

I think I will go for it when it gets cold this winter, while off I will install oil temp gauge.

I wonder how hard it is to cross refence a paint number or match factory color at paint store.
