    are your talking of spraying yourself or professionally, if spraying yourself id say about 100 pounds worth of paint including primer and lacquer. or professionally im not sure what they would charge to spray a scooter but i would think mybe 300-400. i may be wrong.

    yeah, i think you are a bit wrong in pricing. a scooter only consists of 5-6 coloured panels on average. with 2 cans of primer 5 cans of paint 3 cans of laquer. its more like 60 quid. dont worry
