wanting to DIY spray my frame and swingarm once i get my bike back has anyone done this before and could you recomend any specific primer/colour cans for the spraying, want the frame to match the blue on the panels and the swingarm to be white with yamaha sprayed in blue across the length of it, also any metalic heatproof silvers for the engine casing? also if anyone has a link to a frame being sprayed it would be helpful aswell cheers lads also unsure about colour schemes not sure wether to keep it all blue apartfrom swingarm or mix and match having rear panels white and tank panels blue etc, leave comments and do the poll please!

ah ****, was hoping to just get it over and done with in one day rather than having to take my bike apart and be left to get the bus for however long it takes "/ how much does it cost to get a frame and a few other bits and bobs done? and how long does it usually take?
I have used diy spray and mostly home radiator spray heat restistat and tougth and with a good coat of clear over the top can be ok against oil and petrol ect ..
yeah a pro job is the biz and takes much more damage and looks better but also if cost is a real concern then fck it diy spray it with care it can last and look better
Ball park figure to get frame shotblasted and powdercoated £80-£100, swingarm £30-£50, you'll probably be without them for about 2 weeks, so that will give you time to get other stuff cleaned up, replaced.
