Looking to give the old girl a lick of paint, planning to keep to the origional paint scheme of red.

Can anyone recommend a good paint shop and what I could expect to pay.

I am a southern softy (Berkshire) but I dont mind traveling

Steve was telling me that Louigi uses a bloke around the corner from him.
I might be wrong but worth a try!

Extreme Paint in Wellingborough on 01933 441999 - speak to Nick.

Did an Aprilia for me 3 years ago and it was a fantastic job.

Thanks chaps, I have spoken to the paint shop that Nelly uses and they have quoted £750 for a standard Duk red.
Only prob is they are just off J28 M1, I would have hoped to find someone a bit nearer.

I paid less than that for a full Castrol paint scheme on my blade at Dayton Paints in Colchester!!!

Have you tried the likes of Dream Machine? I believe they collect.

Give Chris a ring at Essex county choppers 01708379721

I would think he would collect for a full bike paint


They turn out stunning paintwork

This one was painted by capital-sign.co.uk, based in Cheshire,would involve travelling up north but let them know your from the south and they,ll be gentle.Very good price,excellent job.Several pics of a 916 on their website.

Mine was painted by Dream Machine, and i made sure i told them i wanted it back right first time, it took 3 weeks and the job is superb....I too have heard horror stories but in this case i had no problems ;)

Extreme have done a bunch of work for me....

Very good, no probs at all.

Trackday paint job - one colour with number boards was £250?
Full rep - £500?

I think.....

Give Nick a call.
