Proffesional Respray??

[2E]

Anyone able to recommend a place that will price up a respray job on my bike?? considering changing the colour to white..:grin1

Either that or how much paint would i need.. where from.. etc etc

Or possibly another colour, just im getting sick of the 'homemade' paintjob:grin2

but if im honest, the most shame was the little tyke that walked past my 'roaring' bike and said 'mummy look! a moving christmas tree:shooter'


So yeah.. Rubish paintjob... GOTTA GO!!!:grin3

Hi Tooey a repaint would cost you in region of £350/£400 if its a single colour and no fancy work required you could always rub it all down your self and use aerosol cans but it does need to be quite a warm room to stop blooming

....How much did you pay for the bike?

Its not worth spending £400 on surely? Also bear in mind Dave is saying £350 - £400, but that is probably for a standard bike, with your panniers and box there is a lot more to paint.

hmm i hear you... silly question perhaps, but do they remove the items from the bike to paint them.. as erm... that will be incredibly difficult (as i found the other day) due to masses of cables.:reading

oh and by the way, although i 'Have' panniers, i cant fit them as i dont know how.. no brackets were supplied and i dont know anyone i can take them to that can source brackets for them..

:(

Yes it is normal practice to remove items from a bike for painting, otherwise you have problems with overspray and bits you can't get to.

Kid, nice! :grin2

Your painting it white because you fantasize about being in a uniform and you know everyone else will think your a rozzer and sit behind you while you laugh your lil blonde nuts off.

If you have that sort of money to spend then px it and get another bike ;)

Ok 3 questions for you

1. Have you actually SEEN my bike?

Answer: No you havent, as if you had you would of seen the paintjob it has currently got

2. Have you actually SEEN my bike?

Answer: No you havent, as if you had you would of seen that it looks f**k all like a police bike

3. Have you actually SEEN my bike?

Answer: No you havent as if you had you would realise that anyone that believes my bikes a police bike when its painted white is a bigger twat than you.:grin2

And yes as much as i would love to replicate a police vehicle, trying to replicate a british police bike is more trouble than its worth.. so that idea was scrapped along time ago!:laugh2

I have only seen pictures of your bike as when we where both due to attend the same meet your bike didn't quite make it ;)

So answer me why out of all the lovely colours in this world are you going to paint a road bike white?

It could of done the journey, but i thought better than to attempt it with a punctured back wheel and my mates girlfriend as pillion ;)

I said im looking at painting it white, ive seen a fair few 'black and white bikes' and they look really nice and not that common..

White is a common colour for a lot of bikes, its just usually mixed with another colour e.g. blue and white gixxers..

dont see what your problem is, i want to paint it white as its easier to add designs into, its like a 'canvas' paint, so i can put tribal designs on it.. add other colours should i want to, without having to strip off all the red/blue/green/black paint off..

in fact.. i dont know why im arguing this with you at all to be frank, its my bike and ill do whatever i please with it..:shooter
