No I dont mean landscapes and portraits
nor do I mean someone to paint the outside of me ouse

I just want my tank resprayed again with the original colour
pearlescent White.............
Full Bore in watford quoted £400.00
a bit steep me thinks. just for a one colour blow over in the same colour as original............
so can anyone reccomend a tank painter in the Hertford/ north london area..
any reccomendations greatly appreciated.......

I know it's a bit far from you but Northants V-Twin have a painter who I'm sure is cheaper than that!! Their number is 01604-588-006

Re: Does anyone know of a painter...

Guys, guys.............go to a PANELBEATER/CAR SPRAYER. Seriously. I did last time, got a great result very cheap.

Specialist ''bike painters'' cost heaps. And yes theirs is a great skill, but you are not using their skills, honed by years of doing ghost flames/ skulls / etc....all the stuff Harley owners want.

You both want one-colour paint on metal - hell, why pay more?

You often find bikers working at car body spray shops who like the change. Offer one CASH to do it after his normal hours if he is busy with insurance work etc....

Buy touch-up bottle from dealer for sprayer to colour-match.

Think cheapskate!!!!!

Well, that seems OK! Paint is not cheap. Go for it.
