Hey Shatrat, I'm going to go with matte black, which they use on the ducati monster or matte silver. The cost of the paint is 120-150 depending on how much he uses. I'm using the barter system. I asked him this morning for you and he said if you were to take it apart ballpark would be 550, but that is here in NJ which is pricey. I went to evansville for work a few yrs ago to a GM parts plant. I think I was on rt 9 if that sounds right, I just remembered a place called VIP, which was a goodtime. Hope this helps, let me know if you would like me to ask him anything else. merry christmas. ChrisB
