Paint my bike ya bastards......

My bike is ready for a respray, its an NC23 CBR400 double ARGHH.

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????

spray it orange..
then I can get my fairing done a little cheaper and I can pitch in for a bit of the cost

There's a reputable spray shop over the shore, but can't remember what they're called. I'll go find it. Give them a buzz and ask for a rough idea on cost
And you know you'll have to undo what you did with the paint brush, ay?

movistar all the way man. soooo many people would just stare at your bike in awe and wonder how farkin fast it is... plus it looks dam cool as well.

failing that, candy red would also look noice

Don't bother - ya may as well give it away.

Did I mention I could put you in a nice little Charade? Cheap as chips to run and safe as a brick shithouse.
