Good body shop priced fair

Over winter picked up a crashed 2006 cbr1000rr got it running good and now ordering fairings for it . Anybody got suggestions on a good shop that can paint plastic with a good desgin for a fair price , there are only 6 pecies to the whole bike about 3x5 in size so not much paint will be needed , looking to spend 500-1000, all parts will be cleaned and sanded and recleaned prior to body shop to help with cost , I have the old colors and some broke parts with the color I want matched if that's possible also, thanks for input

Re: Good body shop priced fair

Its cheaper just to paint it one solid color. If you want a design that's going to cost money. On my old cbr it was all black with decals. The bike had OEM plastics on it. So you could just get it painted one solid color and order a decal kit from the dealer. You can find a set of OEM take off plastics.

FYI painting a bike is about the same price as painting a car. That's what I have heard from a couple people that I know that paint.
