Respray / colour change T100 Bonneville

Hi all,

I've been toying between buying a standard Bonneville and a T100 for a couple of months now, and the main sticking point for me, is that I like the look of the T100, but the colour I want is silver, which isn't available on the T100 in the recent 2010+ fuel injection models (but is on the standard Bonneville).

So, my thoughts are to buy something like a black/white T100 2010+ model and just get the petrol tank and front/rear mud guards sprayed silver. Having said that, I don't want repercussions of not being able to sell it in a couple of years, for the correct money because of a colour change.

So my query is really, is it possible to get these parts sprayed silver, and then sprayed back to original, to good/acceptable finish with no evidence of previous paint colour etc ? And if so, what sort of cost is involved in doing this ?

I'm trying to achieve the look of the attached bike (which is a pre 2010 carb T100).

Thanks in advance
David

 

Many thanks Crispey

 

That's a great idea - it hadn't crossed my mind but I will look into that as an option. Thanks again.
