Well I'm looking for a decent painter I've got a 2011 repsol blade and some nice person decided they wanted to pull out in front of me than wait the 2 seconds for me to pass and resulted in a slow speed off so I repaired the bike my self but to my amazement honda wanted £700 plus vat for the tank cover so I bought one from the states and it's faded to death I'm looking for a decent painter to make it like new Anyone got any suggestions ? Cheers
Just had my Race Fairings done by Alan Bamber of RR Racepaint in Preston. Post it off to him and wait for the Courier to bring it back again! Motorcycle Replica Racepaint - Double "R" Racing I'd post Pix but only picked mine up yesterday and they're still in bubble wrap!
Perfect thanks a lot guys you know what like there's nothing better than word of mouth ,good painters are hard to come by
Oh I'm well impressed! They were on display when I got there so I could inspect! He only bubble wrapped afterwards so I could waz em in to the Mrs Estate to bring home. I just haven't had time to fit them as I've still work to do on the Brembo MC etc and it's supposed to be on Track at 9am tomorrow! Might make it for 11am!
Mine was done by racepaints in Nottingham. Racepaint UK| motorcycle paintshops| repair centres| accident repairs| standard paintwork| custom paintwork| airbrushing They seem to do a lot for magazines, race teams and dealership specials.
GSP : That looks stunning, a real fresh Repsol theme that suits the bike perfectly............ Now you've got me thinking.... LOL. What sort of money did that cost (If you don't mind me asking). Honda hasn't made enough changes for me to want a newer blade than my 2011 model, but an updated Repsol paint scheme might just do it for me.
Fitlike Gibson? It's bob Robb! My mate coco with zx6 that you were out a while back got bits on his old orange Zx6 painted by bike paints he said they did a shit hot job and he's very fussy!
Ok tried race paint uk total waste of time I was told a two week turn around but here I am 4 weeks later with a returned un painted cover I would not recommend these guys !
