Painting in wellington (Not flash)

**Eddieb** · 4th August 2004, 16:39

Hi guys

I am wanting to get my bucket racer painted so it's not 10 different colours and fibreglass scars. I'm not after anything fancy.
Theres 2 pieces, a gs125 tank and a NSR125/250 style tail section, 1 colour with some black number boards on the tail section. It could do with a quick sand to take off some remaining bits of stickers but thats it I think. I'm not after a smooth finish base surface wise but would like an even paint finish, i.e no runs or shallow paint.

Can anyone locally on the board do this?
and if so how much.

I suspect you are after a quality job here, so won't volunteer my services with a spray bomb.

Nah it's a bucket a bit of Dulux exterior white house paint and a brush will do fine

Do it yourself mate..

Good quality laquer spray bomb will do the trick. Especially if it's gunna lead a tough life.

If you can wait. I'll be doing the trumpy tanks base colour soon (ish)

Cheers

Dean Carter down in Makara is pretty good, I got him to do my bike. He used to have a place in Aro Valley. Give him a call for a chat and a quote etc... You really have to let him know when you want it done by though if you've got a deadline. His number's: 4760401

Either would prossibly do just as well, the surface is rough and pitted anyway and the fibreglass rear section has been repaired a few times so has raised scars all across it.

I just don't have the time or place at the moment to do it myself.

Next race is the 29th so it would be nice to do before then. I'm out of town the next 2 weekends though.

Did you get it done?

can you get it up here before then?

I'm an ex-spraypainter, so i'd knock it off in no time

Nah I didn't and I probably couldn't. Dickhead me let the warrant and rego lapse on the car so I'm going to be chasing around getting that sorted saturday so I can get a trailer and tow the bike to the racing on sunday. I still need to sand the bits down a little as well, mainly just take a couple of stickers off the tank and rear section that are half peeled off.

Unfortuntely the crap weather causing the garage to flood and half the drive to slip took up my time on top of the trips away.

I'd be keen in a few weeks though. The next weekend is Cold Kiwi so will be away for that as long as it's not miserable.

I'll exchange for beer or whatever.
