Title: New paint Job?
Post by: blue_faz600 on 02 August 2012, 09:37:42 pm

Hi Guys,


Thinking of a new paint job, possibly 50th Anniversary Red and White scheme, but i have no idea where to start with finding a trusted spray painter to do the work for me, without raping my wallet :'(  Any info or contacts would help heaps. I'm in SW London if that helps!


Cheers Guys!

One point of advice - if you're going to respray your bike, take a few photos of the bike beforehand (particularly any chips or marks etc in the existing paint).

Otherwise, you risk having a hard time if you ever come to sell; resprays and new graphics are all-too-often used to hide drop / crash damage and a clued up buyer will ask questions.

I'd give Chitsu a poke from easibike Glossip, he's on the forums and done
several sets of these and some paintwork on my other bike. recommended ;)

Hey Red98 - I had mine done at a place in Preston called RPM. He did a great job too. Love 400/4s. After I finished rebuilding mine, it went back to Japan!!
