    I made the paint porsche swartz pearl with extra gold pearl added.My good mate Gav the painter who does alot of my bigger jobs painted them.If he does another he wants £450 to do all your panels. He called it a ball ache trying to get it right.

    That look the nuts Jezza, wicked colour choice and totally one off.

    Don't think £450 to paint a bikes bad at all.

    I was going to say £450 for the colour of your choice perfectly (or as close as possible but that looks amazing) is fair - I'd rather pay a proper price for a really good job and know its done right than say pay somebody £200 - £250 and its a bit... shabby

    I am guessing he could do a blade an any colour now - not sure what colour I would select if I had choice - a deep metalic blue maybe or Focus RS / ST metalic blue but that Gixer colour really

    One tip - heat shield in the bellypan or the paint will craze (as I found out when I had mine painted Black with HONDA in white put on it)

    That is panels and not stripping the bike. After doing mine it was a learning curve for both of us.
    He loves doing bikes because it's something different.He is going to paint a funny little Isetta canary yellow today not many of them around.
