Bike colour

Post by chric »

Bike colour
Got a small crack in fairing so needs seeing to but got me thinking the part repaired would need re painting so would they be a big colour difference or do i get bike sprayed in a whole new colour.
Or sell it and get a blackbird or somet a bit more comfy

Say hell to it and get it re sprayed. There will never be anything more fun to ride than the storm!

You've already got the best bike in the best colour, in a nut shell- you've peaked!

Would a coat of paint adhere to the plastics after all the repulsive stuff you've rubbed into the paintwork...
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Once the sprayer had preped the panels for painting it will stick fine, just mention to him that it has said those products on and they will sort the rest out. Call them and see what they say :thumbup:

Colour matching will depend on the painter... there is always a way to blend colour to match be it blowing in the colour within the damaged panel or if need be blending in to the next panel.

Theres a point....

Some spray shops do have a complex machine which has copy the colour exactally from an exsisting panel. Can take a while to do but if you do not want a full respray then it is worth it.
