    I want to get my F650 sprayed different colour. Can anybody tell me where I can get this done and how much it will cost?

    If its just a colour change and you can take the tank/panels off yourself, just ring around to various car bodyshops and ask if they have experience painting bikes. I haven't found a bike-specific spray shop apart from the few airbrush/custom places and these will be €€€€.

    Depends on what you want done, you can generally get a basic bike paint job for about €300 but if you feel like getting a bit of artwork on it that can cost more (price depends on time taken).

    Where abouts are you?

    As ceptr said, try a few local car body shops and panelbeaters, I don't know any painters in Dublin, there's a couple I can recommend close (ish) in Dunboyne and Navan.
