    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! :(

    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.
