Bike Painter, Where?

Post by seb421 »

as you know ive had a crash other night and looking at getting new tank and left fairing.

as much as i would love to give the storm a repsol make over, i don't think i have the pennies.

does any one know of a place in the north west area that can paint tanks and side fairing to the original Honda colours. and if so how much are we talking???

not sure what the colour code for mine is, its a 2000 model and its teal

Colour code should be under seat on a sticker on the subframe

found this site selling the paint in 180ml volumes trouble is its in Japanese and that's all I can work out.

if I go to Halfords will they be able to make the paint if i give them the paint code?

How bads the damage? Or, how much do you need?

I had a teal (sorry :oops:..."Jerez blue"...) one too and had to paint a couple of bits-cowel and mudguard.

I always used RS bike paints

Not cheap but I did get a spot on match/finish :thumbup:

well the tank is mashed and the left faring is ground right dowm , waiting to win another tank and left fairing on ebay shortley, they will be black if i win them so paint they need.

my dad has an RR3 its blue a picture is some where in my previous post im thinking of either getting the bits to match my jerz blue or get a complete respray in that blue thats on my dads RR3 Blade.

as im straped for cash think i might just get the bits done the teal colour.
