Any way Boots thanks for reminding me. I was thinking of starting a thread about starting threads.

...there was someone that did it once, but I think he's dead now...can't be sure as to how factual it is though...I heard it from the mate of a mate who read about it on a forum...

That's me - I painted my own bike and died.... Bikes OK though.... I have recovered slightly and now just appear dead..

Yes - I paint my own badly - why?

I had the same plan got the paint sand paper etc , but the sun was out so had to take it for a wee ride

Dry while ride with bugs for no extra cost.

I am thinking of painting my bar end weights. Should I attempt it myself or see a professional? Also I can only afford to do one at the moment, should I get a quote?

I was going to paint mine, but the color was a bit wrong so I had to paint it, now I'm just waiting on the paint I painted on that paint to dry so I can get it the right color, then I can paint my bike.
