When a buyer sees a bike thats been painted, the thought that its been crashed most often comes to mind.
now it looks like a crashed and fixed up bike, this probably cost you 1000 or more in resale value.
That looks sick!... good job
Mine actually turned out really well but I wasn't kidding on the few months...

True. I'm not worried. Im still going to keep the thing for a few years so I might as well enjoy it!
Yeah, kinda but not really...
If she can have the shop vouch for her come time to sell, or give her an invoice stating what work was done, it should be fine.
As the OP already mentioned, she plans on keeping the bike for a few more years so for her it might be worth the drop in resale value (if any) vs. what she likes/prefers.

I kind of agree on the resale value.
Your best bet to keep the resale value is find a scrap set of fairings and fix them up. This way you can always swap it back to the original's when/if you sale.
When I did my bike I looked for spare fairings all over the place and actually ended up paying just a bit over $300 for a whole set (mind you lots of the parts were cracked and had missing pieces but nothing too serious).

Thanks!
I have an invoice which states the work that was done and frankly I'm not worried about the resale at this point. I also might keep it and buy a secondary bike in the future. So I'm really not worried about resale value. Thanks everyone for your concern!
Who does it in GTA? And what is approximate cost?

Something like that. I just redid my Gixxer and they custom colored a kit for mine. So there's always hope it's not like your bike melted

I am just looking at options now. I decided to keep my bike for couple more seasons and possibly go fully faired (FZ6). If I do - I'll be looking for custom paint (Yamaha yellow and black bumble bee) or vinyl rap.
Time to whip out the famous $50 paint job!
