    Showing off new paint job, big thanks to Airflowe Kaiwharawhara!

    So it finally dawned on me that sunfaded red mixed with a bit of pink and lines of rust wasn't really the coolest paint job in Wellington, so I decided to get it repainted. Took my bike in to Airflowe in Kaiwharawhara and they did an absolute stonker of a job on my VT250. Highly recommend their work, really cool bunch of dudes and they do some awesome stuff! Looks even better in person!

    Bike looks like new now

    Haha yeah man the pipe sounds just as grouse as it looks, I've been meaning to get a video of it up for ages Mark from Neptune in Lyall Bay did a great job on it! Will chuck a video of it up this week sometime

    Great to see some positive replies! I was originally going to just do it black however I wanted a colour which was unique and would make my bike stand out a bit. I took a risk with the paint job it was going to either turn out really weird and tacky or really awesome but I'm glad I did as it turned out great!

    It cost me $600 but that was the good ol mates rates so I think it may be a little bit more if someone else went in. However Airflowe do wicked work, they do work on the Jeff Grey BMW cars as well. They will definitely sort anyone out with a great paint job!

    Thats a really good price for the result
    Much better than straight black!, the Green & white suits the wheels and makes the bike look very unique...well done mate

    Excellent price. Can you get some close ups of the paint?

    Yeah sure I'll put up a video tonight with some closer views of the bike and will show of the exhaust a wee bit as well

    The only downside to the exhaust is I washed it with a towel which I had been using for Anti rust, which smudged the exhaust which Mark had so beautifully painted. Man I felt like an idiot.. Still looks very slick though

    I'm not sure of what exact type of Green but it's a few shades lighter than British Racing Green
