Reflections are good, but their prices are steep. I got some scratches resprayed on the TLR a couple of years back after some w@nker pushed it over . . .

Failing that, could you just pass it over to a car painter? Hand them the panels and the paint and say how much?

Lemme know when and I'll talk to my flatmate about it ,he's a car painter and can prolly do it fairly cheap for ya , as long as you supply the graphics for any graficy stuff.For this reason it may be best to keep to a simple colour.

I had a couple of ideas for colours, i was gonna do a Movistar replica but now i'm not too sure if its too wanky or more to the point, too much work, so i though metalic blue or candy red. (poll above if you can be bothered)

But the point of the thread, is anyone in Auckland a spray painter or know a good spray painter that will do me a nice deal, i went to buy the paint and thinners and addatives and all the other crap you need only to find that it would be cheaper to get someone to do it as i would have to pay for move product then i need and would have heaps left over. I wasn't gonna spray it myself, tried that before on a van and it looked pants. Was just gonna buy the paint cos i thought it would be cheaper and give it to my mate who is a painter (interior decor) but can spray 2 pac and has the spray gun and stuff..... anyway, back to the point....... any spray painters wanna paint my bike????

paint it black and purple with purple rims

Good idea - and very public spirited of you too.

Re. colour......hXc's new Spada is at the paint shop to be sprayed Met.Blue. I could ask the painters to peel off the Kelly Green original paint (instead of wasting it by sanding) then I'll send it to you for re-fitting

**MidnightMike** · 17th January 2006, 13:03

Metallic Blue.
