Depends on the shop, what color, what kind of paint.... Narrow your variables a little bit.

each fairing will be one color.....cbr yellow in the front and the one piece tail section will be black.

no metalic, no pearl...

I went to a shop this mornin and the guy told me they dont do bikes, but they would do it for maybe $1,000.....

You could always rattle can it yourself. But expect a shop to charge 500+.

empiregp repaired and painted a guy's bike on superhawkforums and I think the final cost was only like $650 but remember that included repairs as well.
