, which left my bike looking slightly worse for wear. 
on my return to London I spent a little time trying to find a bike painter in London, not an easy task. eventually my friend put me onto a guy called rob in Upminster, a little bit of a journey, I know it well as it's where I used to live before moving to Spain.
took a ride up to meet rob and show him the 2 panels that needed spraying. he seemed a nice chap. I left the panels with him and the single seat cowl so he could get a good colour match.
today I collected the panels, and i'm more than happy for the price I paid, he was honest a showed me a couple of imperfections in the paint. I applauded his honesty.
the yellow is a pretty good match with no faint area's, which can be an issue with pearlescent paint.
I also decided to change the colour of the headlight surround. not sure of the paint code. I just told him I wanted a very bright white. as I think it goes well against the yellow.
so here she is, all ready for an mot in the morning.
