There's this small little place in a place called Molesey, near Hampton Court (KT8), which specialise in crash repair. I thought this bloke called Jino was worth a mention on the basis that he's totally amazing at paint. A few years back I gave him a XL600V radiator cowl faring in blue to spray...

Hi can any body advise of a panel painter in the west midlands at a sensable cost, i've just rebuilt the A/T and spent a small futune on it, but its nice, to finish of the job properly it needs a complete respray:thumbup: would add pics but don't know how ta:toothy9:

Hi, I am based in Spain and the lacquer on my tank has all come off, so am biting the bullet and getting the whole thing resprayed white(will add decals to liven up). Have been quoted €250.00 Is this reasonable as I have no idea, or should I shop about? Cheers chaps(and chapess's)

Do any of you ggod folk of the XRV forum know anyone who airbrushes helmets and what sort of price they charge. I know this will depend on the design, but just a rough guide will be good enough. Cheers :D:D

It took me ages...almost 3 weeks to be precise. I am now totally sick and tired of rubbing down! I have learnt a lot and would have done a few things differently in hindsight! I tried to link the photos but Picassa won't let me :( The link is here...

Firstly, I'd just like to introduce myself. I'm a thirty something bloke from near Basingstoke. I have a wife and 2 kids, so don't get to do enough tours on the bike! I can't wait until they grow up <wishing my life away!> but as the second one is only a year old, it may be a while yet. I have...
