Hey everyone,
New member here, and I'm wondering if anyone has any input for motorcycle paint shops in the NY/NJ area. I live in Rockland County, NY, about 30-35 min from NYC.
I went down back in December and cracked my fairing, I'm in the market for a new one, and I read somewhere that '04-06 FZ6s have identical front cowls, but for some reason the part I need is $430 for the '06 model and $151 for '05 models. Problem is, the '05 model doesn't come in my colorway (Red).
I'm not too upset about it, since I've always wanted a blacked out bike (matte black) anyway. So does anyone have any suggestions for paint shops in the area or prices that I can expect? I know there are a ton of threads about DIY tips, and I am open to them, but to be honest, I'm scared of messing up and would rather pay for it to be done professionally if it's not an unreasonable price. Was also considering plasti dip, but I understand that it's not a great long-term solution, and if I ever want to sell the bike, i'll be left with a blue or purple front cowl and red tank/side fairings haha.
The parts I need can be found on bike bandit, (2006 or 2005 Yamaha FZ6>Body & Fenders>OEM Parts>Cowling 1>Part 5 "Body, Front Upper 1") (can post a link if its allowed!)
Thanks again guys, and sorry for the essay!
