Want to give my bike a Birthday and am looking for a skilled painter who can paint the entire bike in matte paint, well at least with satin clear.
Lee from James Lee Design is no longer in business; he let me down several times anyway, so I get why.
Muzza from Bumpershop is specialising in Ducati Service and his boy lacks the attention to detail this job needs. I've seen his work; it's oh-kay, but I want a great job.
Most Car Painters seem only interested in Insurance work, think Bikers want too nice a job, or they want to skin you alive. I took an easy job to Rosies a while back. Much humming and harring and sucking of teeth (standing outside the shop).... Oooh mate, it's easily a thousand dollars. What bull. (It was less than 1/2 that.) Just not interested. Another shop painted my front bumper after some fool backed into me. (Insurance job) A year later it's a mess of stone chips because they did a shit job.
This job WILL be a thousand dollars (plus). All I want is a factory quality paint job and not to be ripped off. My mates in Auckland know a guy who is "an "artist, does a flawless job, for a fair price." Is there anyone like that is Christchurch? Or is that too big an ask?
Or maybe the question should be: What's the cheapest way to get a fairing, tank and wheels to Auckland?
