    Paint job on the Shore?

    Hey guys

    I am looking at doing a re paint my 1990 FZR, i myself don't have the time at the moment to do it so was going to go for a pro, any recommendations for a company or person on the north shore?

    Just going to do a standard color, ether back or red, most likely the latter.

    Back half of the bike is currently white/blue and will need to be sanded down, front half will be new fiberglass fairings.

    cheers,

    Reflections' work is usually very good. They do a lot of the insurance jobs.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    yes sent them an email today asking how much they think to do the job - got a quote from a spray painter in Albany to do the painting for $800, i would have to strip the existing pain off though - is that reasonable pricing?

    Here we go, got everything back from the painters on the 18th and then i had to travel the coast line to find a nice spot to take a photo, i think this was taken somewhere between Wellington and New Plymouth.

    Big ups to the guys at Motorcycle Doctors for making new front fiberglass fairings, and Frenchy and the guys at Auto Pro for the awesome paint job.
