Hi, I need to change some bodywork on my falco, but am finding it difficult to find good replacements. My seat unit is faded, but undamaged. My upper fairing is scratched, but could be repaired. My middle fairings are unpainted in black. Would anyone have these parts for sale in fire red or be willing to do a swap? Or would you have any suggestions for how to locate these parts?

I'd be happy to get mine painted, but my local guy is not confident in matching the tank. Has anyone had success with having the fire red painted?

Any help gratefully received

Dream machine did a first class job on my lower fairing. Not cheap but quality costs

Thanks. What sort of money would painting the fairing and seat unit be? Would it be cheaper to paint fairing, tank and seat unit in something straightforward like a flat red?

I've really no idea as to costs because it was so long ago. I know they struggled, not because of the colour but because of the "lay" and the coverage. In the end I posted them my seat hump and they got a perfect match.

If you give them a blank canvas, the costs will be a lot lower - the effort and time was matching an existing paint.

Looks like the cost of a full respray is between 300-800. I'm tempted, but it's not really financially sensible.
