Shit colour bike dilema

[4me2]

I picked up a bike this week but the colour is dead gay so I need to get it sprayed .

The colour I have in mind is the Carlsberg beer can green colour .



Basically it would be the tank and side panels that need doing and I'm looking for somewhere local ie Maidstone/Tonbridge area in Kent.

How much should I be paying as I don't really want to mad but I want a professional job doing and not a Halford's spray can jobby ?

Where are you based then ?

[Freddy]

Just moved from Bromley to Battle.

I'll keep an eye out on the A21 for ya lol

I'd like to get an old bike that style and do it up. Not got a bike license though. Deffo on my list of things to do.

Just go darker purple should be cheaper that way.

My mate has a Caburys purple bike looks quite nice


Green is very cool though hmmmm decisions

They are winding you up mate, it is the flowery pink chaps that show off your feminine side....!

done worry about the colour 4me2 it will match ur dress

[crashtestmac]

4me2, there is not a lot of paint needed there, if you can get the bits off your self take them somewhere local to get them powder coated. It definately does not need a Dream Machine level of job.

It cost me £60 to get a pillion cover painted but that involved sending off for a mass spectrometer paint match as it had non standard colours.

Crash

Shouldn't cost you too much (at least there is not loads of fairing to paint) Are you anywhere near Newcastle. I have a mate (Car body shop painter) that used to paint my race bikes and does a nice job for good money

How about these candy greens here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CANDY-CONCENTR...QQcmdZViewItem
it adds to clear laquer and spray over a course silver for an excellent effect..

[Lighty]

It definately wants painting mate thats queer as fook! But not green, either do it B3 Kawasaki green, but if you want it to look any good and cheaper and easier to do and also make it easy to sell on then just go with flat gloss black mate, also a standard colour for that bike too.
I'll see cn I sort you a manual out for it if you havent already got too.

Ral 6035 is looking good.

Hi. To answer your original question I reckon about 50 quid for the tank and a bit less for the side panels.

I nearly bought a Kawasaki last year from a bike garage in Brighton down by the marina (bell tower) and the tank was blue. I hate blue and told the bloke that was why I didn't want the bike and he said he could get it resprayed for about £50.
