There appears to be less and less Paint Shops willing to undertake painting Bike parts in my area (Home Counties, Berks, Hants, Surrey, Sussex) "Too fiddly" "not worth my while" are typical comments received. Anyone happy to recommend a quality coach works or private spray shop willing to undertake work for a fair price?
Image Custom Design in Camberley are bike painting specialists, they are not cheap but their quality is IMO worth what they ask. Andy
I have used Splash Of Kolour in Yapton, near Bognor Regis. https://www.facebook.com/SplashOfKolour/ Shaun did some repairs and paintwork on my Merc and he resprayed my friend's VX220. I've seen various pieces of work that he has done and it is all very good. He is a bit of a perfectionist which isn't a bad thing for someone with his job. He has painted bikes and he is a biker. He will be painting my SF848 Porsche Atlas Grey soon.
Thanks for the recommendations to date - Im now awaiting costs (fingers crossed) (Im slightly surprised theres not a listing for Ducati / Bike friendly Paint shops on this site - unless Ive missed it?)
Ive received a quote for £800+vat (respray with strip) a monster tank, bikini fairing and seat cowl? Felt a bit steep to me but havent had anything done in years - any views / recommendations?
I use Brookfield Restoration in Hinckley really are excellent not cheap but there work is first class
Does sound a bit steep. I use a specialist vintage car sprayer in Newbury for my track fairings and I keep the cost down by doing all the surface preparation myself and choosing a colour that he is currently using on a commercial job. Got a couple of sets of panels done in Ford Frozen White which is the most popular white van man colour involved in an accident around here. A set of panels, front fairing and seat usually come in at about £150. Andy
Goes without saying that you “pay for quality”. However, i’ve Just been quoted £800 for my carbon tank stripping, repainting with the Infostrada and PlayStation controller air brushing on. Also included in the price is painting 2 pairs or mirrors. This is from Rage designs. I think you might be better getting another quote just to confirm your suspicions... A top quality tank refurb is normally £300 to £400. Ian
Appreciate the comments guys - I used to get a tank done with decals applied and lacquered for £150 - £200 a couple of years back with no prep. In this instance I was doing the prep and whilst I appreciate that painting the strip would add a bit I wasnt sure this was a fair price. if there's any more recommendations for south london / surrey / hampshire I'd appreciate it
I've just paid dream machine £1200 for a complete resprayed of my CBR600 the results are stunning yes extremely expensive but worth it
Hi Andy I'm in Newbury and need a tank painted. Can you post the details of this chap and I'll get a quote and post back the costs and quality if I get it done. thanks
http://www.berkshirebodyshop.co.uk/, they are behind Banjo/Specialized bicycles off Hambridge Road. Turn off H road by the cycle shop, then turn 1st left to go behind the shops, the body shop is in a shed at the end, office is a porta cabin. Andy
Sorry I don't know there address my local bike dealer is a agent and there van picks up and delivers When I go in next I will ask but I'm sure you could find then on the WWW
I use Liquid Customs in Widnes which is a bit far for you I think. He does painting and Hydro dipping and he is very reasonably priced.
