    Good painters in Auckland?

    Hey all, recently got a quote for some plastic welding and a complete respray on the CBR.
    Whilst it wasnt a bad price and I have seen some great examples of his work, I was hoping for some other options. Is there a good painter who can prep, plastic weld, paint and bake a fully faired bike located in Auckland someone can recommend?

    Preferably North Shore, but not fussed.

    Jamie at South City Auto Painters in Wiri Station Road does the MEAN job.

    He's custom painted a bike for me in the past and also took care of all the panel and paint on my race bikes. Very clever bugger.

    Speak to Toto, he knows somewhere that did his work, shore based I think.

    Yeah, there are a few things that I wanna do to the bike, but first up, is get it looking good.
    Yeah the one you sent me started giving up, so I got one from honda, and so far so good. Give it 5000km and ill probably chew through another haha!

    Cheers m3rl1n, will do

    aw thats a shame, fingers crossed new one lasts a while.. yea my replacement ones didnt do much more than 5k before giving up.. if u chew thru a couple then may as well do cam chain eh. its cheaper than tensioners lol

    lookin forward to seein u tidy it up love blades.. heres a few pics of mine at the mo, I got a single seat cowl and made a new exhaust hanger to get rid of pillion pegs

    Where did those pegs come from man?
    Wouldnt mind replacing the standard rubber ones, did you just use some stock pillion pegs?
